Airline Maintenance Technicians with Republic Airways voted to join the Teamsters Airline Division, adding nearly 800 members to the aviation division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters labor union.
The union said Thursday that the technicians who joined the union are preparing to begin negotiations on a contract for higher wages, improved benefits and expanded workplace protections. The union also represents Republic Airways pilots and flight attendants.
The Teamsters represents more than 1.3 million workers in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, the union said.
