I thought Teamsters didn't make a presentation and said they felt you guys needed to sort out your own internal issues first before aligning with a bigger union. (Think I saw it in the AJC and online somewhere)
If your leadership has the right to do whatever they want, you may be stuck. If not; I'd say you got good advice from the Teamsters. Fix your leadership problem and then sit down with IBT and ALPA to find out who really will do a better job for you. Then your entire group should vote.
Just heard the Safety budget was cut by 50% and a lot of senior representation and legal staff are actively looking for other jobs in DC before the ship rolls over. (This was from a 35 year senior staffer)
