😱ff:
A union is a group of free thinkers who share their knowledge to better themselves, it is a DEMOCRATIC Process, maybe you should look into sometime instead of letting others make decisions for you, see since you are apathetic, you make no decisions in regard to the direction of the union.
First of all take of the conservative glasses it is clouding your thoughts. I responded to a post by your idol, no where did I mention politics or socialism. You are really going off on a tangent.:

In regard to a picket line, it's highly unlikely one will occur for three reasons:
1. According to ALPA CLT F/O Rep Lance Swendson it may not be legal under NLRB bankruptcy guidelines.

Maybe you need to learn history, from Mr Ford's Musuem web page:
Ford Anti-Union
Battle of the Overpass, May 26, 1937
The story of the labor struggle reached a turning point with the National Labor Relations Act in 1935. Informally known as the Wagner Act, after Senator Robert Wagner of New York, it established workers' rights to collective bargaining and sought to stop unfair practices by employers, employees, and unions. Finally, union organizers felt they had a mechanism to organize the mass production industries, including the reluctant automobile industry. By 1936 and 1937, the fledgling United Auto Workers (UAW) had coordinated successful sit-down strikes at both General Motors and Chrysler.
However, Ford Motor Company proved slightly more resistant to unionization. The UAW felt it had a sufficient base for membership at Ford's Rouge plant, but the workers were apprehensive because of their unfamiliarity with unions and Ford Motor's anti-union stance.
James Charles Price became the first salaried black employee in the industry when Ford promoted him to purchaser of abrasives and industrial diamonds, a job at which he became regarded as one of the best in the industry.
Ford even put blacks into the hated and feared Service Department run by Harry Bennett. Goons from Bennett's department were used to keep order inside the plant gates and to strike fear into the hearts of union organizers. One famous photo shows a black Bennett enforcer pushing a leafleteer off the premises.
Ford felt the unions were communistic and wanted to take his factories away from him. He felt he had been good to his workers and could not understand why they would want to bite the hand that fed them.
