Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & Enforcement Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C Fedex Pilots Post-Medicare Retiree Health Plan follows the conflict of interest policy of its related organization Air Line Pilots Association International ("ALPA") seen below. (1) ALPA's conflict of interest policy is reviewed with employees, a written copy is included in each employee new hire kit, included in the employee handbook and the policy is posted on the employee staff center website. The policy provides examples of some of the relationships that should be avoided. The policy requires that all employees avoid conflicts between their personal interest and the members of, or persons represented by, ALPA or the interest of ALPA in dealing with employers or with suppliers, customers, and all other organizations or individuals seeking to do business with ALPA. If a conflict is reported, discovered, or suspected, it is addressed first by the employee's supervisor and, if necessary, by the human resources department, and in either case, appropriate measures are taken, which can include termination for violation of the policy. (2) In accordance with Federal labor laws, ALPA is governed by officers elected from among the membership. Accordingly, decisions made by ALPA's governing bodies necessarily affect the officers who make up those governing bodies, just as those decisions affect the union members as a whole. However, section 501(A) of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), 29 U.S.C. S501(A), states that officers and other union representatives "occupy positions of trust" with respect to the union and so that "[I]t is, therefore, the duty of each such person, taking into account the special problems and functions of a labor organization, to hold its money and property solely for the benefit of the organization and its members and to manage, invest, and expend the same in accordance with its constitution and bylaws and any resolutions of the governing bodies adopted thereunder, to refrain from dealing with such organization as an adverse party or in behalf of an adverse party in any matter connected with his duties and from holding or acquiring any pecuniary or personal interest which conflicts with the interest of such organization, and to account to the organization for any profit received by him in whatever capacity in connection with transactions conducted by him or under his direction on behalf of the organization." The responsibilities imposed by LMRDA section 501(A) may be enforced by union members through suits in federal courts, or by the Secretary of Labor, and those responsibilities govern the union's actions. | |
