It is their right not to be a part of the negotiation and voting process just as it is mine to be part of it. Do I like that the AOA membership only consists of about 50% of the pilot body? No. An enormous amount of time and energy has been put in by the AOA committee to increase membership over the last 4-5 years. There has been some success but only time will tell how successful they will eventually be.
A good start would be to allow ALL PILOTS to join the AOA, ASL or CX.
