Getting Started

Virgin AmericaNow that you have successfully been hired at Virgin America you are invited to join the largest, most experienced airline union in North America, the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers, or IAM. The IAM has negotiated airline contracts for nearly 60 years. IAM contracts have paved the way for all airline employees.

IAM members enjoy the best wages, benefits, job security and working conditions of any workers in the airline industry. Members of the Machinists Union are also treated with dignity and respect on the job.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, union members earn 22% more than non-union workers in wages alone. Additionally, unless you work under a collective bargaining agreement, you could be fired at any time for any reason - or for no reason at all. Joining the IAM means you'll work under a contract with an enforceable grievance process, protecting you from unjust discharge.

Sign an IAM election authorization card and join more than 100,000 airline workers who enjoy the protection and benefits of membership in the Machinists Union.

The future is in your hands.
