ABOUT THE DIVISION
The Teamsters Airline Division
represents over 40,000 workers in the aviation industry in every craft and
class. We have the strongest collective bargaining agreements in the country.
Our goal is to provide our membership with the best representation in the
industry and to give all workers in the aviation industry a voice at their job.
Teamsters have represented
aviation workers since the 1950s and are continuing to grow to help airline
workers. The Airline Division can be reached via email or by phone at 202-624-6848 or 800-635-3961.
ENERGY CRISIS
The Airline Division is working hard to protect jobs in the aviation industry. Current carrier outsourcing practices present serious safety and homeland security concerns and the Teamster Airline Division is front and center in the fight to ensure adequate oversight and responsible practices. We are working on many fronts in this effort. We are active on Capitol Hill, are working in partnership with powerful business travel organizations, have exposed bad practices on major media, have held public policy meetings and a summit and have extensively researched and reported on the issues.
The Teamsters represent 18,000 aviation mechanics and related workers. To better serve their interests we have formed the Teamsters Aviation Mechanics Coalition. The coalition is led by a steering committee of mechanics from the 14 Teamster carriers. The coalition has played a leading role in exposing and fighting unsafe outsourcing practices, organizing mechanics and related into the Teamsters, lobbying on issues of importance and more.
Congratulations and welcome to our new Teamster brothers and sisters at UAL. On May 31, 2008, more than 9,000 aviation mechanics at UAL voted to join the Teamsters Union. UAL’s mechanics worked hard for two years to become Teamsters and overcame huge obstacles. Their efforts paid off with a remarkable 78 percent voter turnout that sent a strong message to the company that the UAL mechanics want change. More >>
