$27 Million Dollar ALPA Surplus In 2016
According to this months ALPA magazine we have a $27 million dollar surplus in 2016.
Given the wage increases at Delta, UAL, FedEx and across the regionals, we need to act immediately to reduce our union dues to 1%.
Ask yourself what are ALPA National's top 5 goals?
Lobbying money is from the PAC.
1% is way more money than is required.

ALPA national tried to reduce our dues. They even had a resolution at the BOD a couple of years ago with a dues reduction on it, but unfortunately the United and FDX reps voted against a dues reduction. Next time you see one of your United or FDX buddies ask them why their reps flipped flopped on a dues reduction?

The effort needs to continue. If this is a BOD level effort, they only meet once a year. (or maybe once every two years, I'm sure someone can clarify) There needs to be cross carrier coordination well in advanced to build consensus. Let your reps know this is your desire and to focus on making contact with other carriers and discussing it.
Don't let the momentum of the bureaucracy overwhelm us again. Contact can be made at any and all levels. Members, LEC reps, committee members etc. not just the MEC chairman. The silo effect of the national union works for the bureaucrats in Herndon, not you. The members are going to have to make the change. Grass roots efforts to carry this up the chain as well via council resolutions are a must.
