Lanyard Policy
#11
I think this bulletin was more to combat the official ALPA lanyards that ALOT of guys are going to wear vs. the DPA lanyards that only a few are wearing.

The way I read the bulleting the new ALPA provided lanyards will be illegal. We can have a lanyard that has the logo of our official representative, but it still has to comply with the color restrictions.

Secondly, it's a small but real change to status quo during Section 6.
Thirdly, and most importantly where potential discipline is involved, it's a violation of protected speech under the National Labor Relations Act. The courts have previously ruled that wearing small items to demonstrate solidarity with fellow workers - even if not union-issued - is a protected act.
I think we should ALL wear the ALPA-produced lanyards the moment we get them. Hell, they just made all of our "fun" lanyards illegal anyways. What are they going to do, fire us all? If they decide to make an example of someone, he'll get to sit at home a while, go to court a few times, and eventually collect a very big check.
Pretty dumb move on their part. They just admitted being upset by the showing of symbols of unity, while simultaneously moving to unify the whole group.

This is a very encouraging development.
Somebody in upper management is running scared.
Turns out they may not have the stomach for the "long process" they've been threatening.
Congratulations Team Orange.

You will soon be required to wear a minimum of 15 pieces of flair, Delta flair that is.
And no wearing the delta on the jacket buttons and hat band upside down.
