(Washington, D.C.) – The Teamsters Airline Division on Monday launched a new web Site, teamsterair.org, to more fully inform its members and to provide them with a way to communicate with each other using the Internet.
The Teamsters represent 53,000 airline workers in every class and craft at dozens of airlines, including mechanics, pilots and flight attendants at Continental Airlines, mechanics at United Airlines and mechanics at Horizon Air. Most recently the union has added Atlas and Polar Air Cargo pilots and dispatchers and Aloha Air Cargo fleet service workers.
“More and more airline workers are realizing that the Teamsters are the strongest union in North America,” said Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa. “We are working every day to improve the lives of our members in the aviation industry by negotiating and protecting the best contracts in the industry.”
The web site, which is password protected, features forums, information about organizing campaigns and contracts and aviation news, including legislation important to Teamsters airline workers.
“The web site is the most recent development in our ongoing efforts to stay close to our airline members as we pursue our priorities: the protection and expansion of American jobs, the safety and security of the flying public and the restoration or replacement of airline industry employees’ pensions,” said Teamsters Airline Division Director David Bourne.
Founded in 1903, the Teamsters Union represents more than 1.4 million hardworking men and women in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
