On a personal note , and not sure its been said recently . I for one wanna thank alpa for having the forethought and intelligence of sitting down and talking to this management. A few weeks back asking Dave to leave and then putting emotion aside, decides to sit down as professionals and talk. As a member of AFA and seeing other unions scoff, it is refreshing to see an union being professional. They along with everyone at our company has a lot to lose. They recognize this and have made the right choice to lead by example as they did in the last few go arounds. They have proven they are a PROFESSIONAL group with their members best interest at heart. From getting current members to help pay cobra benefits to discussing even further productivity cuts, alpa deserves the regonition of being a true professional union group and i hope other unions on our property will follow . There are two types here, leaders and followers. I for one along with most of our employee group thank them for being a true leader. I support u guys 100% and know you will do whats best for your group. For our other unions "brother and sisters" live, learn and follow. Learn what being professional are really about. Its one thing to have a degree or a skill. its another to call your self , "professional."
