Proof union busting managers use this board as propaganda. Read Confessions of Union buster by Marty Levitt. You would not believe the lengths and costs companies will go to prevent, and bust employees from becoming organized.
And therein lies the ultimate irony of union life. If you ever question ALPA, it's immediately considered proof that you're a "union busting manager." It's the Catch 22 that will prevent ALPA from ever being effective if it's own members can't challenge it to make it better.
But nothing is being done, and the association is slowly being split into oblivion. ALPA rhetoric is to blame everybody else but ourselves (bankruptcies, union busting managers, congress). Why has Skywest not voted in a union yet? Because the only incentive ALPA has provided is shame if they don't.
ALPA has proven that they are entirely unwilling to protect their prized bar-raisers, as we've seen with Comair. Worse than this, even as ALPA stands by and watches the last union success story disappear, they don't even allow the Comair pilots martyrdom status. They just blame them for the RJDC and a misguided seniority resignation policy circa 2003. Swallow your pride ALPA and show you've got the balls to stand up for those who had the balls to fight for you!
These days, I struggle to find the difference between ALPA and a simple conspiracy theory. Both say someone else is out to get them, and if you challenge the very ideas, you're considered part of the conspiracy. The only difference is, ALPA is supposed to protect it's members, not just the mystic of it's past.
Make yourself relevant, ALPA!
