Your reading comprehension is lacking. I didn't say FedEx issued the lanyards, I said "standard issue ALPA lanyard". We get them from the Union. And yes, if you wear a lanyard other than that, you are different from the rest of the herd. I didn't say better or worse, just different. Again, the reading comprehension thing. In previous posts jungle (aka Mr Definition) was making a big deal out of why does calendar blocking or choice of lanyard draw any notice. My point was it's just not the norm and things that aren't the norm get noticed.

Is wearing a military or school lanyard the norm? Nope. Neither is calendar blocking. How about those 777 lanyard wearers? Seeing someone with one of those typically elicits eye rolls around the room.

Not a fan of agency shop? I remember not so long ago when that was a must-have for the contract because we were sick of the freeloaders mooching off our dues and not paying their way. The moochers on the last contract were grandfathered, but no more new moochers will occur. Don't like the lost ability to vote with your feet? Unless you've volunteered for the committee you have an issue with and become an agent for the change you want, voting with your feet is a gutless way out.

Oh well, enough pig wrestling for today...

I have to join in your mirth Chainsaw, this is pretty funny, judging people by the number of cheap trinkets they festoon themselves with is always good for a laugh.


If non-members/scabs are such a problem why does your contract allow them? Who voted on that contract? Why does your contract allow calender blocking?
All the cheap little trinkets in the world aren't going to change a thing.

Silly me! You sure have it ALL figured out. Cheap trinkets don't mean squat...

So let us rank all the cheap trinkets on display so far. Should Audie put his alpa pin above or below the Combat Infantryman Badge?

Another worthless liberal. Go outside and play.

Not sure how you get "worthless liberal" out of that...But, whatever floats your boat there, Comrade Einstein.
