It's been consistently upheld in the courts that unions do not have the right to organize or promote other activities at company worksites or on the property. That is why you have never seen flight attendant Union organizers in the lounges. I believe even Dalpa has to get permission from the company to set up in the lounge every time. Did the anti TA group ask for permission to use the lounges would be the first question to ask. If on the other hand you set up in the terminal the company would have no say. You might however need a permit from each airport.

There is information EVERYWHERE. Pro, Con, from the union, not from the union, online, offline, etc. Y'all actually sound like a bunch of control freaks to me. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
This post actually made me laugh; Woofers has no problem with ALPA putting out information but let a TA critic hand out info and Woofer is apoplectic. He acknowledges that there is information everywhere but somehow handing out LEC letters in the pilot lounge represents a threat. And the funny part was where he accused others of being control freaks when it is DALPA and management who are trying to control the information flow. Priceless!

Hey guys, a quick note about the scare tactics posted by guys like sailingfun, hitimefurl, KnotSoFast, etc...there are no worries about speaking your mind on social media. The ONLY thing you need to refrain from is criticizing your employer. That's it. From what I've read, almost nobody is doing that. In fact, most are amazed at how adept our management was at winning.

The criticism on this is clear, and that is of our union leadership and their behavior. That is, and always will be, 100% protected speech and unquestioned by your employer.

You purposely conflated Union organizing, with member criticism of their union, and then talked about the courts upholding it. Pure FUD. Union organizing isn't allowed, but nobody was discussing that. Criticizing your union is specifically allowed ANYWHERE by the NLRB.

Being anti-TA is protected by the NLRB. Your questioning of it is a scare tactic.

I think the point is that "constitutional thingy" doesn't give you the right to set up a table or pass out information in the pilot lounge if management forbids it (or requires permission for such activity)
