 On behalf of our members, the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) donated a bust of Charles E. Taylor to the Museum of Flight in Seattle, WA on August 11, 2010. The bust, which will be on display in the museum’s Red Barn exhibit, is intended to increase the awareness of Charles E. Taylor’s historical contributions to aviation as well as the vital role that today’s Aircraft Maintenance Technicians play in making air transportation safe and reliable.
The donation was made possible through the generosity of the AMFA Locals: 11 in Dallas, TX; 14 in Seattle,WA; 18 in Houston, TX; 32 in Phoenix, AZ; and AMFA National. |

On Tuesday, August 17, 2010, AMFA filed an Application for Representation with the National Mediation Board (NMB) to represent the Facilities Maintenance Technicians at Southwest Airlines. The NMB has assigned an investigator to this case and issued a Notice to Employees that should be posted in their work areas. This notice informs the employees of their right to choose to be represented under federal law without interference. Click here to see this notice. The Facilities Maintenance Technicians contacted AMFA regarding joining the Union, and then we coordinated with them to collect the required signed Accretion Authorization cards. We soon had more than enough cards to file with the NMB. This group has shown a strong interest in becoming a part of the Union, and we look forward to a quick resolution with the National Mediation Board. |
