CENTENNIAL, CO – July 27, 2023 – The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT) membership voted overwhelmingly to ratify their recently negotiated contract extension agreement at Southwest Airlines. The new industry-leading agreement provides top-of-scale wage increases of 20.5 percent over a three-year period.
On June 21, 2022, Local 11 assisted the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA) with their informational picket. SWAPA is very appreciative of the time and effort put in by our members. AMFA only did two things for us last week. Your volunteers and picket teams did ANYTHING, and they did EVERYTHING. Thank you.
