Mechanics And Related Workers Seek Union Representation
US Airways mechanics and related workers have filed for an election with the National Mediation Board (NMB) as part of their campaign to become Teamsters. "Because of the Teamsters' solid, documented track record of excellent representation, the Teamsters Union is the best and most logical choice to represent us for the future as professionals in the airline industry," Jim Blanton, a 25-year US Airways mechanic, announced today at a news conference in Charlotte, NC, with mechanics and related workers from other airports across the country.
