There seems to be a gap between what BALPA is doing and what it's members think and maybe want it to do. Although we elect our employees they should be there to do our bidding and not to follow their own agendas. There seems to be an unwillingness to ask what the members want and to discover what the members think of what is being done. There ought to be a better mechanism to instruct our union employees and to monitor their activity. The current veil between members and elected officials is opaque, it should be transparent.
