Council 19 Membership Committee Update
The Seattle base now has over 2055 flight attendants…can you believe that??
Please remember that all AFA dues are deducted from the 20th paycheck and those dues are for the current month, not the previous month (like your flying). If you didn’t fly enough or if you are on a leave and not coordinating sick leave/vacation, or you are coordinating but do not have enough TFP to cover everything that is deducted, you will owe dues.
If you have moved it is important to update your information with AFA. When you update this information with Alaska the change it not automatic with AFA. Also, if you have changed your email you need to update this information. You can update with AFA International by going to http://www.afacwa.org/change_of_address
Did you know that not one penny of your dues is used towards any political agenda. Donating to Flight Pac is what helps causes that better our working environment for our profession.
Over the past 3 years 97% of the Seattle members have paid their dues and our Council has been recognized for this achievement and we thank you for fulfilling your obligation to pay your union dues! The majority of the monthly budget covers pay for local work done on behalf of your local council AFA committee members and hotels for committee trainings.
If you ever have any questions about your dues please feel free to call or email me at 206-409-0354 or at linda.christou@afaalaska.org
