I have no doubt that DALPA has been and still is a "top down" organization, no matter how much they try to say otherwise. I have reached the conclusion that this just cannot be fixed. I fully understand that you have reached a different conclusion. And I won't even call you "emotional" either!
I guess that is what concerns/confuses me. No one is willing to get involved with the current union, so the answer is an alternate one where the majority on here conclude the apathy will not be the same after a year or two? I see a disconnect in that logic.
Oh and 88, not calling you emotional, I am calling the calling out the battle cry of Scope and Pay with a plan of nothing more than we will do whatever it takes as the mantra. If DPA is to be successful, they need to show depth of knowledge. That, in my opinion has not been done. Show knowledge of the broader issues as well.
