Dear AMFA-Represented Members at Alaska Airlines & Future Hawaiian Members:
On December 2, 2025, the National Mediation Board (NMB) issued its response to AMFA’s submission for class and craft clarification for the Cleaners and Line Servicemen at Hawaiian Airlines. The NMB has ruled that both the Cleaners and Line Servicemen classifications of work fall under the Mechanics & Related class and craft and will be included in the NMB election. There are 305 eligible Cleaners & Line Servicemen at Hawaiian Airlines. The combined total of eligible votes for both Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines is 1990 members.
The National Mediation Board ("Board") has authorized an election for the union representation for the Aircraft Mechanics and Related work groups for Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines. The election will be conducted by mail ballot. Ballots will be mailed to the employees on December 16, 2025. The voting period will be from 12:01 a.m., ET, December 16, 2025, through February 12, 2026. The tally will take place at the Board’s offices on February 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., ET. AMFA will have representatives at the NMB offices during the ballot count on February 12, 2026.
The NMB has officially announced the dates for the union representation election between the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) and the IAM. ALL members should have already verified that their mailing address is up-to-date with the company in PeopleSoft. The date on file within PeopleSoft is the date that will be supplied to the NMB. We encourage everyone to fill out their ballot and return to the NMB as soon as possible (ASAP). DO NOT hesitate and miss the opportunity for your vote to count. This representation election will determine the course of your future with Alaska Airlines. The time is now for every member to voice their support for the union who they want to be represented by. AMFA has been instrumental in the continued elevation of the Aviation Maintenance profession as a craft of skilled, licensed, and professional technicians. Everyone’s vote truly matters in this election, so exercise your right and VOTE!
Sincerely,
Brandon Statfield, AMFA Local 14 ALR
