The NMB or whatever federal dept. does determine what class or craft. It is up to the Union representing that group where they will fall into. That groups own contract or fit them into an existing contract. I am going to try and explain why aircraft mechanics need to have a stand alone CBA. Aircraft mechanics are at the top of the so called "money food chain" Another work group entering our CBA will just dilute the amount of money available in SWA's mx budget per individual, therefore lowering all parties involved top wages. In other words, there is less money to go around. The old saying of they are just riding our coat tails becomes true. I am not saying Facilities does not deserve the best contract AMFA can offer, just not on the backs of aircraft mechanics. With the new work groups asking to be represented by AMFA, Facilities, tech support, MX control, and MX training, they should just have their own inclusive CBA together. Use the aircraft Mx CBA as a template and move on. To be honest, I feel AMFA National is just out for a money grab, and is really not concerned about the SWA mechanics. Remember AMFA is still a business and it seems wants to make more money at the expense of the aircraft mechanic contract. I have posted the following question on this forum before and on AMFA32's website but no one ever seems to answer, which leads me to believe AMFA leaders are afraid to tell us the truth. Here it is again: If we vote down the LOA's pertaining to Mx ctl, tech support, and training then the membership has spoken and they will not be under our CBA correct? Also since we never got to vote on Facilities they will absolutely not be under our CBA correct? Anxiously awaiting an answer.
