Union question
Newbie union question.
I’ve never been in a union before. As I understand it the primary things the union does that directly affects us individually are collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment. At the same time I understand that these things are handled by committee members who are volunteer member pilots. My question is, what do the dues pay for? Thanks |
Snacks…...
|
Hotels....
|
Pizza for new hires...
|
Some positions are paid. We also have some staff that works in the office.

There is a reason that ALPA exists, and also factors that led to it not being set up along the lines of a traditional labor union. I recommend reading “Flying the Line,” for starters, when folks get time in order to get some notion of airline labor history. |

Thanks What We Do - ALPA Your dues go to things like fighting the ME3, flags of convenience, lobbying for enhanced security, fighting to keep cameras out of cockpits, shutting down single pilot experiments in the cargo world which could bleed to the passenger world, and so much more. And no, ALPA isn't blowing your money on "snacks" like in the past. |
