Why a Union

What can forming a union do for your career?

By joining with your flying partners in a union at your work place you benefit in many ways.
 

  • On the job, your union brings together the collective strength of your coworkers and you to ensure meaningful negotiations with management for an equitable contract.
  • In addition to wages and salaries, other areas that can be negotiated include: staffing and overtime, safety and health, adequate retirement, vacations, commuter and uniform issues, and a workable disciplinary system.
  • Through your union, you and your coworkers enforce the provisions of the contract.
  • Your union also works for you outside of the workplace, in the halls of the nation’s Capitol. Unions fight hard for their members’ political and legislative interests.
