Is PAMA a TWU approved "Association"?

PAMA has it written into their Constitution that Management will occupy at least part of the board. It is a 'management friendly association'.

I dont think that PAMA accepts Fleet Service clerks though.

So PAMA is what you would call an elitist organization that seeks to promote the profession of Aircraft Maintenance, they do not accept anyone who is not a mechanic but they will accept either rank and file or management A&Ps.


Are you advocating PAMA?
