However, I think DPA has become irrelevant as a new collective bargaining agent, but retains some relevance as a voice for the permanently disgruntled. If DPA wants real relevance, they need to mobilize their supporters to sway DALPA internals because they are spinning their wheels as a new wannabe union. In that regard, they are irrelevant.
Right on, Scambo. I sent my card in initially. It has expired because I see a lame ass effort and most of the communications from DPA seem amateurish. If they are indeed serious and sincere, I need more than tabloid media attempts. I can play that game. I'm a vet, in some regards. Right now, they're not doing it for me.
