You misinterpret who dumb and dumber are liger.
In order to lodge a notice of bargaining period one must have compiled a final log of claims.
Is it not AIPA's intent to survey the membership in order to find out what they want? How then can you have a log of claims if you don't know what the members want?
Was there a push by some to use the Woods \ Duggan resoundingly rejected document to create a log of claims and lodge with the commission? Sound like putting the horse before the cart.
Someone could \ should dig a bit deeper into the company being used for the survey by Woods and they would find some interesting links to the ALP and the books of AIPA may show a retainer.
