"The lack of support from Local 747 will no longer be tolerated. Our bargaining agent is tasked with a number of administrative duties, and these have been consistently mishandled. The four Executive Committee Chairpersons serving over the last five years have experienced this demoralizing situation firsthand. They have grappled with the Local 747 leadership yet see depressingly little movement on the simplest of issues."
This is part of a letter from the Lakes Organizing Committee. The 747 sunk below your average "poor representation". This went way, way below the standard situation of having their hands tied behind their back with the RLA. The common phrase on the line was: "Why am I paying these people if they don't do anything for us?"
