NEWSLETTER FRONTIER AIRLINES MEC July/August 1978 the air line imployee “IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MYTH that labor unions are going down the drain,” ALEA President VictorJ. Herbert (at speaker’s rostrum) told the FL/ALEA chairmen. “They are very much alive, especially in the professional area where you people operate— and that is because you need good representation.” Herbert then reviewed union activity and pointed out that at least two highly capable staff members (Scott and Casey) are former Frontier employees. From left, those in attendance were Martin Gulikers of Council 71, WaIt Hatfield—48, Carolyn BolIer—46, Howard Stewart— 73c, Robb Odgen—70, ALEA’s Alan Loiben and Jack Casey, Larry Williams—45, Frank Monheiser—73, Ora Nestelroad—72, Al Martenson—44, W. C. Lamkins—74, and Don Christiansen—47. July/August, 1978 Page 9 In many ways the first three months of 1978 were the most important of the entire year—and for the two following years, as well. This was when thousands of members at hundreds of locations on eight different air lines cast mail ballots for the officers who will lead their councils through March, 1981. The newly elected chairmen listed below comprise ALEA’s top governing body, the Board of Directors, and they form the Master Executive Council on each air line. These “MEC’s” are now in the process of electing their own chairmen. Photo accompanied this article...it's in the ALEA file.
