Geronimo4497 said:Interesting topic. Just out of curiousity, how much are member dues? I can't imagine that it is a ton of money, considering what you guys make.
P.S. - Can I have a job?
Geronimo4497 said:1.95% = Cheap Insurance. Is it tax deductable (I would imagine that it is).
active_herk said:. I guess the non-union types figure management would have given us the 6% B-fund out of the goodness of their hearts (in the meantime management took away profit sharing from the rest of the employees and then offered up a dividend to the shareholders). Gee, I wonder who the number one shareholder is??
FedEx said:If they are not members then they are told good luck and come back and talk to us when you join the membership. They said why should they help out a nonmember with all the others members paying dues? If they helped out the non-members, then there would be no incentive to join the Union.
I feel ALPA should do the same. Why should my dues help protect another pilot who is not paying dues?
Let this happen to one pilot and see how fast they join the Union...
Rez O. No desrespect to you, but what if the Union would have told you, good luck on getting your job back, come talk to us later when you become a member. I am tired of my hard earned $ helping out someone who choose not to belong to the Ass... Lets do what the NEA does and tell the pilot "good luck, let us know how everything works out".
