I wonder why instead of passing an amendment that says all 401k contributions are will not be charged dues. Instead they pass that they will be charged and lower the dues by .05% If the government says that they will make 401k's tax exempt why cant ALPA?
For the person who asked what is going on. ALPA is making all 401k contributions to be consider income and charge the normal dues starting on jan 1 2014. Current by laws say if your company has only a 401k retirement plan you are exempt from paying dues on that portion of your pay. If your company has more than a 401k available you will be charged the ALPA dues.
