On May 24, IAM Union honors dedicated Aviation Maintenance Technicians across North America.
We recognize the contributions and skills of AMTs and their vital role in ensuring the safety and reliability of aircraft. This day commemorates the birth of Charles E. Taylor, a key figure in early aviation history and the "Father of Aviation Maintenance.”
Taylor built the first aircraft engine for the Wright Brothers’ successful flight.
“Our IAM Union is proud of each of the thousands of AMTs we represent and the countless other AMTs around North America,” said IAM Air Transport Territory General Vice President Richie Johnsen. “We thank them for keeping the flying public safe every day."
“As the largest and most powerful airline union in North America, we know that it is the workers of this industry who make it all possible,” said IAM Canadian General Vice President David Chartrand. “Together in unity, we will continue to win a brighter and more secure future.”
