If ALPA endorses this kind of position through the crime ridden AFL-CIO, then I will dump my membership in ALPA. It's bad enough to see ALPA national giving money to the left-wing socialist DEMS, but it is beyond pale to watch them endorse organized crime!
I'm with Fred on this one!!!!!!
I agree that there is corruption on the national levels of unions. However, the power is in the locals. Also, I'd rather national give money to the labor friendly party than to the right wing laissez faire capitalist repubs.
This country needs sympathy strikes or more solidarity in organized labor and whether you think so or not, you would benefit.
As for FDX attempting to bully congress, I say they're bluffing. Even if they're not, it doesn't make a difference where they get their planes as Boeings and Airbus' are built around the globe anyway.
