Resolution 3, Ending the Conflict of Interest at ALPA National is the start of an effort to change our by-laws. This proposal is an effort to make our union structure more appealing to the members. This resolution is not advocating “the certification of a different collective bargaining representative.”
The Delta Communication Chairman posted an excerpt from the Landrum Griffin Act, calling for “refraining from conduct that would interfere with its performance of its legal or contractual obligations.” It is his interpretation of the resolution's wording that convince him (or whomever is behind the effort to censure it) that this resolution violates the act. The wording was chosen carefully. It represents a concept; that ALPA serve as an umbrella for two groups that whose differences both groups find restrictive (they sue, we hold back on negotiating what we really want to suit their lawyers.) If better wording can be found to achieve this goal, let's use it.
There is no-decertification involved. It is entirely possible that Regional Carriers will find a better strategy to attain their goals. Delta Pilots can proceed into 2012 negotiations unrestrained. Regional and Legacy Pilots all work together on those areas where we have common interests. We are permitted unrestrained competition when it comes to improving pay and growth.
