Agreements that Define
Commercial Aviation.

IAM Contracts provide the highest pay, the best job security and the best work rules in the airline industry. Without exception.

These agreements did not come easy. They were all created thanks entirely to the vision, hard work, and solidarity of IAM members in the airline industry. These legally-binding contracts help to protect our wages, our safety, and our future. They ensure that airline workers like us are given the respect that we deserve at work.

All Machinist and Aerospace Workers Association Contracts are designed by airline workers. They are voted on and ratified by airline workers. And, they are enforced by airline workers.
