Aviation Partners Employees Sign with Machinists!

Montréal, QC – Employees of Aviation Partners Incorporated located at Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport are the newest members of the IAMAW.
“It was a very fast certification campaign, 30 days from start to finish,” said a satisfied IAMAW District 140 Organizer Robert Savoie. Aviation Partners took over the aircraft grooming business when Swissport decided to let their contracts with United and Sunwing Airlines, expire. “Some of the former Swissport cabin services department groomers asked us to represent them with their new employer,” explained Savoie. “Aviation Partners began operations on December 15, 2010 and filed for certification two days later and since the new owner had no objections, the campaign proceeded very quickly.”
The 15 new members will join IAMAW Local Lodge 2309.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers is the largest union in the Canadian Air Transport Sector representing more than 18,000 members.
