Industry contract will be achieved with an industry standard union. I wonder where we might find an industry standard union? Maybe the union that has negotiated all of the contracts that we hope to achieve?
would we be better with ALPA or with AR and our culinary attorney both of whom are winging it and flying by the seat of their pants? Ball or strike?

Living off 50k a year, hell even raising a family on 50k a year isn't only doable a lot of Americans are doing it.
