Dear AMFA Represented Members at Alaska Airlines & future Hawaiian Members
The Government shutdown is officially over! Now that the government is back to work, the NMB will begin to review process of the “Showing of Interest” that the IAM submitted to the NMB in September. We anticipate this to be a 2-3 week process. Upon completion of the showing of interest review, the NMB will determine whether the IAM has sufficient “Showing of Interest”, which will determine if the IAM is represented on the Union Representation ballot. These ballots will be distributed by the NMB and will be mailed to your home record that you have on-file with the carrier. We encourage everyone to verify their physical address in PeopleSoft is the address in which you receive mail. AMFA’s legal team has reached out to the NMB for an official update on status of the process and for an updated timeline. Additional information will be communicated once we have a response from the NMB.
AMFA will be hosting a webinar on Thursday November 20th at 0800 and 1300 PST. Additional information can be found at AMFAdelivers.org. We encourage everyone to register for this event and submit their questions for the Q&A section. This will be an informative webinar with the Alaska ALR’s, AMFA National and Legal. If you are unable to attend, we will be providing a recap of the event.
Continue to reach out to your respective ALR’s for additional information. Sincerely,
Brandon Statfield Jeff Heard
