The Dept. Of Labor has a variety of reports that will infuriate you when you see what ALPA spends OUR money on...
National ALPA’s File number is 000-179.
You can use this link to find their expense reports (LM-n.... series of forms).

Look at the LM-2 for ALPA national.
I’m on ALPAs side but they need to count pennies. Fancy hotels, catering, magazines, and conferences need to go. I remember not too long ago, in the USAF, they cut all the conference budgets and forced everyone to use video conferencing or similar technologies. Instead of Office 365 subscriptions they should use LibreOffice and other open-source (free) software.

Are LEC/MECs included in these figures?
