               UAL Mechanics for Teamsters is the official newsletter of the Committee for Change.

UAL Mechanics for Teamsters is the official newsletter of the Committee for Change, which was formed in 2005 by your fellow mechanics. The Committee for Change has dedicated itself to bringing the strong representation of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to United Airlines. The Teamsters’ resources, professionalism and strong negotiating history provide us with the hope of a rewarding and stable career at United Airlines. We have been joined by the majority of our fellow mechanics in our efforts to secure our future, and together we are on track to making this a reality. Thank you for your support!
