Agenda Item #9
Posted on Mar 6, 2018
ASSOCIATION OF FLIGHT ATTENDANTS-CWA, AFL-CIO
FORTY SIXTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
APRIL 9 – APRIL 11, 2018
ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY
SUBJECT: Dues Coupon Booklets
STATEMENT OF QUESTION: Should Coupon Booklets be eliminated?
SOURCE AND DATE SUBMITTED: Strategic Planning Committee – March 9, 2018
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
When AFA merged with CWA in 2004, the CWA dues processing system was utilized to process AFA dues. Processing dues efficiently was difficult and invoicing of the monthly dues many times caused delays. In 2006 the AFA C&B was changed to provide a monthly coupon booklet to those who chose to pay monthly.
Even though coupons are distributed to members not on payroll deduction, most people do not use the actual coupons but instead, pay dues online.
Today, dues processing is more streamlined and AFA has more control over the process. Reverting to monthly invoices can be done more efficiently now; members prefer it; and, the new CWA dues processing system will allow invoices to be sent on a monthly basis by email.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION:
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that Article XI.B.5. be amended as follows:
- An annual “coupon booklet” shall be mailed to all members who have not chosen to pay annually or who are not on dues check-off on a monthly basis. Dues notices shall be sent on a monthly basis to all members who have not chosen to pay annually or who are not on dues check-off.
