No problem. I think I can help you, PG!

You took this stuff out of context in the thread. If you go back and follow the conversation, you should see that we were talking about what someone referred to as "volunteer specialists"... i.e. R&I, contract, PBS, etc. I've actually helped out a little in an unofficial capacity with some R&I issues in the past. I have no problem helping out where I can and if I believe I'm truly helping. But I'm not going to spend my time parroting what I consider to be detrimental propaganda. If DALPA changes its true focus to restoration instead of damage control and excuses for why we cannot achieve restoration, then I would certainly reconsider that.

Bottom line, though. If DPA is chosen to be our association, then I will help out with something that I feel I can legitimately help with. If DPA fails and ALPA continues to be our association, then I will also help out with something that I feel I can legitimately help with. I'm not going to take my ball and go home either way. Just understand, though, that accepting our current BK/emergency standard of living as a new norm from which we would negotiate traditional increases is not something I could in good conscience and therefore, legitimately, help with. Until they fix this, it's no-go for the communications/P2P type stuff with me.
