Nick Daniels inquire about members' comprehension of decertification risk.
Yes, members understand the risks.
Controllers experience the shutdowns, staffing battles, and stagnant pay. Members aren't clueless, we're vigilant and paying attention. That's precisely why we pay dues to NATCA: to fight aggressively and collectively for better pay and benefits. Not to fund a strategy that prioritizes protecting the union's existence over pushing hard for real wins when the environment gets tough. When risks are this high, that's exactly when the union needs to step up and use our collective power to fight through them not tiptoe around them with inconsistent messaging or low-key plays. This is precisely the moment the union needs to step up and own the communication. Make the messaging unified, repetitive, and action-focused. Members grasp the stakes; now match that awareness with a bold, visible plan that delivers on the core mission: advancing our interests through bargaining, political action, and concerted activity. We're ready, show us the plan.
