Washington, DC – Airline Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) with Republic Airways have voted to join the Teamsters.
These airline professionals now join Republic Airways pilots and flight attendants who are already represented by the Teamsters Union.
“Republic Airways AMTs are tired of being overlooked and are ready to stand together for the pay, protections, and respect they’ve earned,” said Dave Saucedo, Director of the Teamsters Airline Division. “These workers do critical, highly skilled work every single day to keep planes operating safely. By joining the Teamsters, they now have the power to hold Republic accountable and fight for a better future.”
The 777 newly organized AMTs are preparing to begin negotiations on a first contract that delivers industry-leading wages, strong benefits, and improved workplace protections that raise the standards at Republic Airways.
“This victory shows the growing momentum for Teamsters representation throughout the airline industry,” said Saucedo.
