​Unofficial Reports Claim That Republic Management is Preparing to Cut AMT’s Pay

We have received reports from AMTs around the system that Republic management will cut AMTs pay this fall and increase work hours from 32 to 40. While restoring AMT’s hours would be welcome, paying for it with a wage cut is NOT.

And, let’s be completely honest here, the only reason why Republic is considering restoring our hours is because there will be a lot less AMTs employed at Republic post October 1st. Basically, the AMT’s that are left will be paying Republic management to work an extra eight hours a day with a pay cut. This is the ultimate slap in the face and completely unacceptable, if it comes to pass.

There is only ONE WAY to gain control of our future, and that is to unionize with the IAM.

We will have a legal say in how our future plays out at Republic and we will have a Voice and a Vote.

If you haven’t yet signed a card to gain the right to vote in a union representation election, do so today. If you don’t have a card, please request one online and we will mail it out to you asap.
