You heard wrong. That was due to 1 persons tirade about how he wasn't asked about uniforms and pay stubs. Beau (or Bo not sure) said I like your emotion and you should get involved with union as they were involved with uniform process. His reply was the union doesn't speak for me. (Audible grumbles could be heard)
I don't know the guy but I was there and he was pretty emotional talking about how the company doesn't value our heart etc...I think he kind of misspoke as Beau (or Bo) corrected him saying the union does speak for the pilots. Again he insisted that with his emotion to get involved with the union. There wasn't any side deal talking or what not. I think he kinda got caught up in his moment that he had to have practiced as there were several lines from Winston Churchill in his speech. His whole mantra was the company doesn't ask our suggestions. They just do.
From what I remember anyhow.
I was just passing through. Curious how the DEN town hall will go

There was talk of delays, gate agents, above/below wing delays etc
Denver meltdown from express being one of them.
