If the DPA proponents want to build a union from scratch then have them do it, don't ask the current volunteers to pick up the mess DPA's leadership would leave behind.

IMO, the DPA leadership doesn't have a plan to takeover, nor the stomach for real union work, that's why their counting on ALPA volunteers to be DPA volunteers.

ALPA work is hard enough already, why put your family through it as a DPA volunteer when there is no support structure, no resources and no capabilities to do your job properly.

You want to build a union, then build it.
