Teamsters Local Union No. 988

NEARLY 800 REPUBLIC AIRWAYS WORKERS JOIN TEAMSTERS

Airline Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) with Republic Airways have voted overwhelmingly to join the Teamsters, resulting in nearly 800 new members. They now join Republic Airways pilots and flight attendants who are already represented by the Teamsters Union.

The 777 newly organized AMTs are preparing to begin negotiations on a first contract that delivers industry-leading wages, strong benefits, and improved workplace protections that raise the standards at Republic Airways.

“Republic Airways AMTs are tired of being overlooked and are ready to stand together for the pay, protections, and respect they’ve earned,” said Dave Saucedo, Director of the Teamsters Airline Division. “These workers do critical, highly skilled work every single day to keep planes operating safely. By joining the Teamsters, they now have the power to hold Republic accountable and fight for a better future.”

I am honored to receive the endorsement of Teamsters Local Union No. 988. Having the backing of thousands of hardworking transportation, logistics, and warehouse workers across the Houston area means the world to this campaign. I am dedicated to fighting for the economic security and workplace safety our families deserve. I will ensure the voices of our local workforce are always heard.
