Agenda Item #2

ASSOCIATION OF FLIGHT ATTENDANTS-CWA, AFL-CIO

FORTY FIFTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

JUNE 24, 2017

PHOENIX, ARIZONA

SUBJECT:    MEC Budget Formula (Section IV.G.2.a.)

STATEMENT OF QUESTION:

Should the C&B be amended to review MEC Budget quarterly rather than twice annually?

SOURCE AND DATE SUBMITTED:       SPR 74, 76 – June 24, 2017

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Growing MECs are often at a disadvantage when the review of MEC growth is only performed at months 4 & 8.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION:

WHEREAS, growing MECs should be able to access funds as quickly as permissible;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that Section IV.G.2.a. be amended as follows:

G. Budget

2.a.      Master Executive Council budgets are based on a percentage of each carrier’s adjusted dues.  A formula is used to determine the exact percentage for the individual carrier.  Should any carrier experience growth, the International Secretary-Treasurer will recalculate their MEC budget based on actual growth in order to provide the appropriated increased funding.  The timing of such review will be twice annually, at 4 and 8 months into the budget year quarterly.  At no time will the current MEC budget be reduced during the calendar year.
