Yeah there were a lot of our so called union "brothers" that couldn't forgo their precious flag tie for a few months for the greater good either. They had lots of excuses too. Just wear the lanyard like our NC has asked of us. It's literally the very least we can do.

I’ll bet you I hate lanyards worse than you, so I unclipped the bottom end of mine and just tuck the loose end under my tie. That way I don’t even know I’m wearing it and I’m still showing solidarity.

It does appear that the people who don’t wear the lanyard really stick out like a sore thumb.

We need ID card tags that sit under you ID but show support so we can remove the “I don’t wear lanyards” excuse from the mix. An alternative to offer those who don’t want to wear the lanyard…

I think this points to why SWAPA is possibly not in any hurry for a strike vote. Don’t ask a question you don’t want the answer to. A 95%+ approval with a 95%+ participation rate? No chance with this pilot group, even in the current environment.

There was one guy on the C2020 FB page admitting he went to the spirit party...
