Invoice out of the blue
Hi Everyone,
I haven't been a member of ALPA for over three and a half years. When I was, I paid all my dues on time and in full.
Today I got an invoice from ALPA for "dues adjustments". I don't have my pay stubs from that long ago and the carrier I worked for no longer exists.
Is this just a glitch? Has anyone else had this happen? If so, what did you do to get it resolved.
Thanks.

You have to call Membership Services in Herndon. They can tell you what the reason is. Audits are done every few years, and sometimes they turn up discrepancies in what the company payroll deducted and what it really should have been.

Thanks for the info.
As someone who is no longer a member, what are my obligations? I am a bit skeptical about this (and would be about any invoice for services rendered 3+ years ago), and I have no pay stubs or ppwk to validate or dispute this claim. Considering that it's over $1000, I'm taking this very seriously

If you don't get it settled up, and you go to work for another ALPA carrier in the future, you won't be able to join the union until you settle the balance. They can get a payment plan setup for you so that you can pay it over a longer period of time to help. But without pay stubs, I'm not sure what to tell you about how to dispute it if you think it's incorrect. Your best bet is to just call Membership Services and see what they say.

Happened to me. Seems they didn't notified promptly when dues check off ended at separation. Said they'd hold it in abeyance until re-employed with another ALPA represented carrier. 16 years ago. I can tell you this, they won't just forget.

Do you have your w2? Or tax return? That could give you a pretty close estimate. Obviously there are some parts of your pay that aren't subject to dues, but still. And you probably decucted the dues you did pay so you'd have that number too.
But yeah I don't think I'd pay it either, just find the info now.
