Default Thanks fellow APC'ers

Thanks to all the APC brothers and sisters who helped educate on the dark corners of the TA and what they might imply going forward, and also thanks to the few bros on here for taking the time to defend and explain the gains that are actually in this CBA.

The democratic process is a great thing, although being on the 'losing' side stings quite a bit. The majority has spoken, and we all had an equal vote. I certainly wish my vote and views had been represented by the majority of our crew force, but it is now time to move on as a unified group.

Life goes on, this is a sweet gig we have here. Let's stay engaged with our union and the election of our LEC reps, to have a better chance of producing a TA worthy of ratification by 75%+ of the crew force next time around.

See you out on the line.

"Next time around." You wouldn't happen to be a Cubs fan, would you, Cloud?

I would suggest a 57-43 vote demonstrates a significantly UNunified crew force...Perhaps the result of horrible leadership.

Mediocrity reigns supreme at ALPO!

Agreed PPP, I would like to see the IBT on property after how this was sold.

But, moving on for now.

I would like to see an independent union. ALPO is too expensive and underperforming.

Very well said! And you were definitely the most well spoken, convincing poster on the no side. Being persuasive without being combative and insulting is quite rare around here!
