In May of 2005, United Airlines Mechanics VOTED FOR AMFA Representation. The first AMFA agreement was effective through December of 2009. At the time that UAL voted IN AMFA, there were approximately 7000 employees in maintenance.
On April 1st of 2008, less than 3 Years after voting in AMFA, UAL mechanics voted them OUT in favor of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). The Teamsters garnered nearly twice the votes as did AMFA.
When UAL voted AMFA OUT, there were approximately 5000 employees in maintenance.
Where did those 2000 jobs go?
AMFA Sells Jobs.
