2. How can a furloughed Flight Attendant stay current with Union dues?
]You will need to mail a letter stating that you have been furloughed from ExpressJet and you are requesting to be excused as a full dues paying member. Each month you are furloughed, you can pay $2.00 for unemployment dues. Please remember that upon securing employment, this information must be reported to the Secretary Treasurer or myself.
The letter will need to include the following:
Your full name,
Employee number,
Mailing address,
Phone number,
Mail a check or money order for $2.00.
Mail the letter to:
Air Transport District 142
400 NE 32nd St.
Kansas City, MO 64116
3. What is the benefit of staying current with Union dues?
As a member of the IAM you are eligible for free college, Union Plus, etc.
4. Where do I file for Unemployment?
In the state where you worked is the best place to begin. If you worked in multiple states, let the unemployment office know.
5. Will my unemployment be denied?
The company doesn’t make that determination however they will not contest it.
You may reach the confidential IAMAW EAP (704) 907-3563
