TAP's Purpose

I will not criticize any union colleague except to the individual directly.
If any union colleague is criticized in my presence, I will confront the criticism and ask that it stop.
I will settle my differences with union colleagues within the union.
I will not participate with any administration that criticize or negatively speculate about a union colleague.
I will engage in debate, offer others every opportunity for debate and respect minorty viewpoints, but I will observe and support the majority mandate of my union.
