IAM Wins Third America West Group
The National Mediation Board (NMB) certified the IAM as the collective bargaining representative for all Stock Clerks at US Airways. The NMB action was necessary after the merger of US Airways and America West and a failed attempt by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, who represented America West Stock Clerks, to represent the combined group.
The Stock Clerk certification is the third certification the IAM has won at the newly-combined airline, totaling 4,200 new IAM members. Negotiations are underway for transition agreements for both the Mechanic & Related and Fleet Service groups, and there will be a Stock Clerk committee established to negotiate their transition issues.
