Why are you listening to a newspaper article about what ALPA supports? How many times have we all seen reporters hand out blatantly inaccurate information about aviation issues? Did the thought ever occur that maybe this reporter doesn't have his facts straight?
You can't be fired for opting out of a union. It is your legal right to either be a part of a union or not. Your attitude is one of the many reasons why people like myself aren't a big fan of unions because you try to scare people into becoming and staying a member by threatening that you will lose your job otherwise.
