AMFA Joins SWAPA and TWU Local 556 by Participating in Informational Picket at Annual Shareholders Meeting in Chicago on May 18

AURORA, Colo. – May 11, 2016 – Louie Key, National Director of the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association, released the following statement:

"On behalf of the Southwest Airlines aircraft maintenance technicians, ground support equipment technicians, plant maintenance technicians, maintenance controllers, and maintenance trainers, AMFA members will be joining the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA), and the Transportation Workers Union (TWU) Local 556, which represents the Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant group, for an informational picketing event at the Annual Shareholders’ meeting held in Chicago on May 18.

"We are not alone in our disappointment with Southwest Airlines management team and their handling of our contract negotiations, and are honored to walk with SWAPA and TWU 556 in a show of solidarity. Almost four years of negotiations is too long for our members to wait for a deserved contract in these times of record profits."
