Happy Holidays! Let's gear up for a union election in early 2022

Dear Republic Airways employee,

The IAM would like to wish you and your families a happy and healthy holiday season! Please do your best to spend as much time with your friends and loved ones, as that is the most important part of life. And, we'd also like to thank you for doing the work that connects families across our great country during the holiday season.

​As you may or may not know, the IAM will be able to again file at the National Mediation Board (NMB), a federal agency, for a union representation election for the Republic Airways Mechanic and Related classification beginning on February 9, 2022. To ensure that you attain the right to vote in a union representation election, please ensure that you mail in your election authorization card (a-card) as soon as possible. For the NMB to conduct a union representation election, at least 50 percent of all Republic Airways Mechanic and Related workers must authorize a union election by signing an a-card.

Request an a-card online.

It is no secret that the conditions for Republic Airways Mechanic and Related workers are currently very difficult. Short staffing and Republic management's resistance to raise the standards at the carrier to retain experienced, talented and dedicated workers and to attract new candidates has only worsened conditions.

By unionizing, Republic Mechanic and Related workers will have the ability to negotiate a legally binding contract that will not only improve the wages, benefits and working conditions of the current workforce, but will also go a long way to attract new workers that the airline desperately needs. Republic workers, through a collectively bargained contract, can do what management refuses to do: Improve the airline and make it more successful for the future.

With that, please have a wonderful holiday season with your friends and families and know that the IAM will always be there to support your efforts to form a union and reap the rewards that come with being an IAM member.

With the warmest regards,
 
John Werkmeister                                                                  James Carlson
IAM Grand Lodge Representative                                       IAM Assistant Airline Coordinator
