), and I could be wrong here too, but don't we avail ourselves of all of ALPA's resources, including their professional negotiators and contract attorneys, when our negotiating committee negotiates something?? If we don't use them directly, do we not at least pass these documents to them for their comment and recommendations?? I'm hoping the answers to the above is a resounding "YES."

Just out of curiousity, how many times have you talked to your block rep? E-mailed him? Not just some anonymous post on a web forum. If we don't communicate with our reps, telling them of our issues and desires, they cannot be accused of not representing us.
BTW - After the age 60 deal, I doubt we will ever see another web-poll.

It was filled with sarcasm and he even offered to "help me in any way" to run for office. All I wanted was a few answers. From the responses I guess any member who has a question or concern with how things are going should just shut up and run for office. At least that's the impression I get every time I send an email to them.
They act like this is all volunteer work....
I'm glad they are doing it but that isn't an acceptable answer.

Always the answer. If you dont like it run for office. Talk to your block rep. I guess we can see on this thread who our union officers are. How about this, why dont you that have been elected listen to us. Oh, no, you know best and if you dont like it run for office or shut up

Just answer all the questions on all the threads that the MEC has not. No call needed. If you cannot or will not do that, than what is a phone call from me going to accomplish. The questions are out there. answer them to everyone.

I cannot get into debates on here. I have given you a venue to ask your questions, and I will answer them honestly and truthfully, all that I ask is that you call for more indepth answers.
