Jill Hazamy Brings Experience and Dedication to New IAM Role

Jill Hazamy, a dedicated union leader at United Airlines, has been appointed IAM District 141 Vice President at Large by President Mike Klemm, effective March 1, 2025. In this new role, Hazamy will take on a range of responsibilities assigned by the PDGC and visit stations as needed to ensure strong union representation across the district.

“Jill has shown a deep commitment to her fellow members and to strengthening our union,” said Klemm. “Her leadership experience and dedication to advocating for workers make her a valuable addition to our team.”

Hazamy began her career at United Airlines in 1998 as a Reservations Agent and quickly became involved in the union.

 

Over the years, she has taken on several leadership roles within Local Lodge 141, including:

  • Shop Steward (2005)
  • Trustee (2016)
  • Recording Secretary (2019)
  • Committee Member (2020)
  • Local Lodge President (2025)

 

Hazamy is driven by a passion for unity and collective progress, believing that the strength of the union comes from working together to achieve meaningful change.

“I am motivated by the sense of unity that the union fosters,” said Hazamy. “Together, we can achieve goals that benefit everyone—whether it’s negotiating better benefits or ensuring job security. Being able to contribute to the future of our workplace and support new members is what drives me.”

She credits Tony Gibson as a key mentor in her journey, expressing deep appreciation for his guidance and unwavering commitment to advocating for workers’ rights.

“Tony has inspired me every step of the way,” said Hazamy. “He’s taught me the importance of standing up for what is right and the power of solidarity. I am incredibly grateful for everything he has shared and taught me.”

Looking ahead, Hazamy is eager to take on greater responsibility and work more closely with members to strengthen their collective voice.

“I’m excited for this next chapter and the opportunity to support even more of our members,” said Hazamy. “Together, we’ll continue building a stronger, more united future.”
