AMFA vs IAM- CASE NO. R-6621
July 22, 1998 to June 1, 1999----------about 10 months
Looks like that one will get beat. Not quite a full year.
SWAMT;
You should KNOW better since your own Companies Maintenance Controllers filed in June of 2020 so it's over a YEAR for 45 GUYS. The NMB has NOT ruled on them.
Not quite: Our MC's were brought in years back, here's the new language when they were brought into AMFA representation;
Highlights bolded by me to stand out;
5. Article 9, Seniority, paragraph 2 shall be modified to read: Mechanical Category – Shall include Employees in the classification of Inspector, Aircraft Mechanic, Ground Equipment Mechanic, Plant Maintenance Mechanic, Lead Mechanic and Lead Inspector where applicable, and
Maintenance Controller and Lead Maintenance Controller. Notwithstanding the definition of seniority set forth above in this paragraph 2, those periods of time prior to March 2011 during which an Employee worked as a
Maintenance Controller or Lead Maintenance Controller shall not be included in determining such employee’s category seniority, provided, however, that an Employee working as a
Maintenance Controller or Lead Maintenance Controller at Southwest Airlines as of March 2011 shall have their length of service in those positions counted towards their total classification seniority during such periods of time as they are working as a
Maintenance Controller and/or Lead Maintenance Controller. Should such Employee subsequently bid a position within the category other than
Maintenance Controller or Lead Maintenance Controller, time worked in either of those positions prior to March 2011 shall not to be included in determining such Employee’ category seniority. 6. This LOA will remain in place for the duration of the current Southwest Airlines/AMFA Mechanics Collective Bargaining Agreement (the CBA) and shall become amendable on August 16, 2012, pursuant to the parties’ intent to incorporate all terms of employment relating to
Maintenance Controllers in the Mechanics Agreement.
