Just to make sure we're crystal clear ...
Representing the employee in case of discipline, or in a grievance, falls under DFR. Non-members get the same representation as members.
Discount life insurance, medical advice from staff physicians, loss of license insurance, and other perks not covered by the CBA are ancillary benefits. Non-members don't get 'em.
(In other words, what you stated in your first post ("there is NO responsibility for ALPA to represent or provide legal resources to a non-member in a disciplinary hearing") was
NOT correct.)
