Just About There

We are very, very close to filing for a union representation election. We call on all Republic AMTs who want the right to vote to submit their election authorization cards (a-cards) today. It is very important that we file as many a-cards as possible.

Federal law mandates that 50 percent of all Republic AMTs submit their request to vote for a union election to be conducted by the National Mediation Board (NMB), a federal agency. Obviously, we want to get above the 50 percent by as many a-cards as possible, so submit your a-card today, so we can file as soon as possible.

If you do not have an a-card handy, you can request one online and we will send one out to you asap. When you receive the a-card in the mail, all you have to do is fill it out, sign and date it and drop it in the mail using the business reply envelop. That’s it. Don’t worry about postage, it’s already paid.

Please remember, your a-card is valid for one year. If you have submitted your card within the last year, please encourage your AMT colleagues who haven’t signed yet to sign today.

By unionizing with the IAM now, we will have the ability to have an influence in the future of our careers at Republic Airways. Without a legal voice in the process Republic management determines everything without our input.

Request an a-card online.
