What does it matter who represents who? Does Mainline have any impact on your contract? No. Your contract is with your company and you negotiate it.

Perhaps voting ALPA out now may not be the right move, but we need to get new leadership.
You finally get it. This has nothing to do with ALPA or whatever representative body you have...it has EVERYTHING to do with the quality of people you put in charge of your union and how much energy you yourself put behind them.
Alpa didn't elect your MEC, you did. You upset about what they've done? Do something about it. Get involved.
(meloveboeing, this isn't meant as an attack personally on you. Please don't take it as such. I used "you" in general terms to describe how things work. With your last statement, you (literally 'you' this time) seem to be catching the big picture)
