The AMFA membership is receiving the best representation, with the most democratic union in our profession. The time has come to join with our fellow technicians, and seek representation with AMFA a craft union devoted to the Mechanics and Related class and craft. We can see how other AMFA represented airline employees have benefited from AMFA representation. ACA stated it wanted to recognize and retain its skilled technicians. You can achieve the same types of pay and benefits by voting AMFA now.
Technicians are in high demand.
United needs to increase our pay immediately to prevent losing more skilled technicians to other carriers such as Southwest. After 6 years of no raises we find ourselves bankrupt and waiting on more IAM empty promises. The fight for AMFA at UAL continues. We have established a communications network and supporters throughout the United system.
