UNITED AIRLINES TEAMSTERS RALLY AT SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Aviation Technicians Demand Fair Contract and Timely Negotiations
SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hundreds of United Airlines aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs) represented by the Teamsters Union rallied outside San Francisco International Airport (SFO) today as part of their fight for a contract that reflects their contributions to the company’s record-breaking profits.
“United Airlines raked in over $4 billion in profits last year, but instead of investing that money in the Teamsters who do the work, they want to send our members’ jobs to communist China,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “This is a reckless race to the bottom and Teamsters will not stand for it.”
The Teamsters Union represents over 10,000 United Airlines AMTs across the country. They are demanding a contract with top-tier pay, a faster wage progression, and job security.
“United claims safety is its number one priority, but their actions in negotiations suggest otherwise,” said Chris Griswold, Director of the Teamsters Airline Division. “United Teamsters are fighting not just for their livelihoods but also to protect the millions of passengers who rely on this airline.”
In response to workers’ demands for a strong contract, United recently offered an outrageous proposal that would put passengers in harm’s way by outsourcing critical maintenance work.
“Every day, we take on the huge responsibility of ensuring the safety of United’s customers and keeping planes in the air,” said Fred Wood, a United technician at SFO and member of the United Airlines Teamsters National Negotiating Committee. “United would not be the airline it is today without our highly skilled labor. Industry-leading profits demand industry-leading contracts, and we won’t rest until we win the agreement we have earned.”
