Personally, I would have driven a forklift at CostCo first, but I have a moral problem with non-Union outfits that undercut Union workers. Apparently you're a big Scott Walker fan.
Yes, technically, ALPA is a "union". However, real life unions support other trades and act in solidarity. ALPA couldn't care less about unions of other skills and trades.
Guessing that many ALPA pilots couldn't care less about collective bargaining for public workers is a good guess. The ones that do care probably oppose public sector representation and favor of Walker.
The notion that pro-ALPA means pro-union/anti-Walker is specious at best.
BTW; Good luck in finding a union forklift gig @ Costco as only 13% of their workers are unionized. After all, you don't want to undercut unionized warehouse workers.
