NATIONAL PRESIDENT UPDATE - APRIL AND MAY 2023
Jun 7, 2023 | Headline
June 7, 2023 -- The months of April and May were a busy couple of months for the Association. AMFA will continue to be the voice of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers/Technicians (AMEs/AMTs) and related skilled trade professionals by leading aviation industry changes and taking a proactive approach to protecting your work and ability to earn as well as improving wages and benefits. AMFA is the only labor union that constitutionally limits itself to representing the craft/trade of AME/AMT and skilled trade groups. It is evident that other labor groups cast a wider net and utilize a more centralized system of dictators and governance that has proven to foster conflicts of interest amongst their membership.

Ignore the “facts” as much as you want because I will keep hammering away at you anyway. Your Union does not value maintaining work in-house. There’s no hiding the fact that AMFA is giving away more work for money period.

Those AMFA frauds played their old game again. I wonder how much money Seeham got this time for all this crap?
CIRB Kicks Can Down The Road On Air Canada Certification
May 31, 2023 -- On May 29, 2023, the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) denied AMFA’s application for certification at Air Canada. The Board found that the application was not filed during an open period specified under the Canada Labour Code—a technicality manufactured by Air Canada and...

Thanks to AMFA's nego cmte and the SWA for coming to a quick agreement for a new contract extension this time around. So nice not to have go though months and years of wondering and rumors flying. Should be done like this every year. Fair and smooth transition to keep things moving forward works in everyone's favor in my opinion.
Now, get out there and get all those new airline's, bringing AMFA to represent them. Be patient folks as it always takes a bit of time to get the first contract in place when nego a new first contract agreement.
Some busy months ahead for AMFA for sure. Good luck guys and gals.
Reviewing the full terms on the newly T/A just received and will vote accordingly soon...

Not a tool at all. Haven't spoke to one single person thus far that wants to go through full blown nego's again. And I for one, never want to deal with another 3,4,5 or any long term nego's again.
Now, I would like to entertain some new language, next time, to help promote early retirements, or at least some sort of incentives to retire within the retirement ages 60-65, for example only, or earlier. I just hate seeing so many of these guys staying into their 70's, 80's.
I also fully support AMFA's growth at all the new airlines coming onboard to join AMFA representation to better strengthen the AMFA's Class and Craft throughout the industry, call me a tool for that, then so be it.
Yea, next time, wasn't in the mood to do a sec 6 opener this time around. Not willing to go through another 6-7 year ordeal again so soon.
Notice how he doesn't bringing up losing 2 more lines to El Salvador? Protecting the craft my A$$!
Hey man, vote as you wish. If you wanted to open the contract then vote no on this one.
This tool, per you, as well as more than 50% plus will be voting to accept this fair and quick, as promised, offer.
You go Get'em next time, and see how many jump onboard that bandwagon. Really all depends on what takes place and happens between now and then, 3-4 years away, a lot can happen.
