do you think the aoa has a better negotiating position if
a) we have 10% membership
b) we have 55% membership or
c) we have 100% membership
not a tricky question, i think.
You don't need numbers you need balls.
DECs, 49ers, freighters, rostering = no balls.
No contract compliance = no balls.
Growing membership numbers with no balls is pointless.
Why increase the size of the rubber stamp?
