Hint: No strike... I just can't understand how we can ever truly claim any kind of victory under these conditions. If Prater weren't so gutless, maybe this would change... but I'm not holding my breath. BTW.. I think secretaries at alpa national make more than you do....
They do. I have their pay chart right here. What is the point? I am not saying there are not issues at ALPA, are you?
My point in the first sentence was that if you can win just give up, de-certify ALPA and just give up is kind of like slapping yourself.
It is hard to stack the deck in our favor, the system is set up that way, and is magnified now that we are well past deregulation. What we can do it not stack it against us.
