Second, I have said he can't advocate a work action but reminding th pilots to fly the book isn't a work action. It's not like telling everyone to call in sick or do some sort of slow down. If he addressed the group he could remind them of what's at stake. The union would not get sued for advising pilots to fly the book. If doesn't take much to lead and he hasn't been. There are plenty if things he could improve on and we've expressed them and he hasn't done anything.
I agree with you about to communications, it would be nice to see something now and then. Unfortunately it seems that when there is nothing to report, nothing is put out to us. If you are so concerned about communications you should consider volunteering on the communications committee. Its all done by 1 guy and he could use some help, plus then you would have the answers to all the questions you seek. When our comm chair is on a trip or busy with representations either he has to a) sacrifice his rest on a layover to write the communication or b) let it wait until he is finished with his trip.
