I understand what you are saying, but I think the system is the culprit. Per diem, health coverage, salary, yada yada are just window dressing. Not one MiLB umpire will get a better shot at the bigs because his health coverage payment went down $10.00/month.

For this to be "to help all our brothers in blue who come after us," then the SYSTEM should be changed, nothing less.

Other wise the current AMLU membership will be seen as grubbing a few more bucks for the present, but not altering the current unbalanced relationship between mgt and employee.

But I seriously doubt that AMLU has that kind of leverage.
