Amerijet Strike
On August 27, 2009, the pilots and flight engineers of Amerijet, represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 769 went on strike.
Nobody from Teamsters has asked the ASTAR MEC or ALPA National for support in the Amerijet pilot and Flight Engineer Strike. However, we understand that communications can be difficult in this situation, and the ASTAR MEC wants to make it clear that we fully support the Amerijet pilots and Flight Engineers in their fight for a fair and equitable contract.
If you are in the Miami area and would like to show your support for the Amerijet pilots, picketing is occurring at the following location;
6185 Northwest 18th St.
Building 716
Miami (Cargo City)
You should go in uniform and introduce yourself to the picketing coordinator.
Below is a link to the article that the IBT has put out regarding the Amerijet strike.
