Thats true but ALPA is run by senior pilots, not the junior or furloughed pilots. Yours and mine longevity isn't even an issue to the vast majority of pilots on the property.
There is only a certain amount of money in the pilot pay pool and they will make sure they get the biggest piece of the pie. If that means they take it from you to get it, they will.
They work the trickle down theory and the 2172 and 1437 are so far down the list they will say you should be grateful for any scraps they throw you and you just need to pay your dues.
I will never pay another penny to ALPA, they can go ahead and sue me. No taxation without representation my friends.
