Kinda quiet around the L&G thread. Rehash of trip parking seems to have run its course. Soooo .... here's some light reading that might stir up some trouble --

We haven't discussed the dues sucking bloated bureaucracy in Herndon for a while.

Red meat for the watchdogs among us:

Organization Query Page (Disclosure)

Use the drop down menu under "Union Name by Abbreviation" and select ALPA. Then hit "Submit" at the bottom of the page.

ALPA National's reports are at the bottom of the list. (000-179)

There are several reports available and several ways to view them. Just check the box next to 000-179 and hit submit or click on the report title or click on the union name.
Especially interesting are some of the "Specific Reports" down below.

The Officer/Employee report is always good reading.
Moak's total take for 2011 was $540,408.00

Lots of Lexus and BMWs in that parking lot up there in Herndon.
Maybe someone good with Excel can post the salaries here.

The "Payer/Payee" reports also show some interesting expenditures by our Washington overlords. Some mighty big bar tabs.

Liquor notwithstanding, our biggest expenditure by far is for lawyers. Hard to figure out how we keep losing all these monster lawsuits when we pay this much for legal advice.
