so what's up with this then?

Starting July 28, the ALPA Board of Directors will be voting on a change to the ALPA Constitution and By-Laws. If approved by two-thirds of the BOD, this change would make all pilot salary deferrals to 401(k) pension plans subject to dues. This would replace existing policy—currently pilot contributions to 401(k) plans are exempt from dues only if the 401(k) is the pilot’s only pension plan—and would both clarify ALPA policy and ensure that it applies consistently to members across the Association. The proposed revision was strongly endorsed by the Executive Council and Executive Board. Please watch this video outlining why this vote matters to all ALPA members.

I mean, we all know ALPA guys make some bank...and it seems they want more off the coat tails of those who lost their pensions and only have 401(k)s to back them up? all because of the USAirways pilots who opted out right? Can they not do with lower salaries till things look up? i mean, what an inappropriate time to do this with tons of people are being furloughed....
From what i understand, membership doesn't even get an opportunity to vote on something like this.
