The article below demonstrates what needs to be said about our class and craft in North America.
ref: "their labor is not replaceable because they are certified to work on the aircraft."
"Our mechanics' union is supporting the Peruvian workers and is ready to express its solidarity and support"
"The future of aviation in South America is being threatened by the company's refusal to negotiate in Peru and Argentina."
When have you ever had support like this with the TWU or the IAM? We have to have a class and craft union who will speak in support of our careers and what is best for the corporate union. AMFA has preached our self worth is much greater for our class and craft than waht it is for as long as i can remember.

ITF: Passengers 'Worried About Flying On LAN And TAM' The mechanics are unequivocal: their labor is not replaceable because they are certified to work on the aircraft. "We are the ones that review the planes each time that they land and if we do not sign the logbook of the aircraft, they do not leave. Without our approval, no plane will be able to fly and therefore the whole company will stop," explained Juan Carlos Talavera, a LAN Peru aviation mechanic and press secretary of SITALANPE.
Dario Castillo Alfaro, the leader of the LAN Chile mechanics' union, commented: "Our mechanics' union is supporting the Peruvian workers and is ready to express its solidarity and support. As Chileans, we are depending on our Peruvian co-workers to protect the aviation sector in Latin America from the kind of cost cutting in operations that threatens the security of our passengers. As LAN and TAM workers we know that on behalf of passengers and aviation workers, it is our obligation to inform customers of potential problems and risks. The future of aviation in South America is being threatened by the company's refusal to negotiate in Peru and Argentina."
