Do the Teamsters represent other employees at Frontier?

Yes. Unlike other unions who have been talking to flight attendants, the Teamsters already represent more than 600 mechanics, stock clerks and aircraft appearance agents at Frontier. That gives the Teamsters strength at Frontier and will mean even more strength when we merge with Republic. That strength — and the power of the Teamsters Airline Division — has resulted in an historic win for Frontier mechanic and related employees: the Teamsters successfully got the bankruptcy court imposed contract overturned, which resulted in a snapback to full wages and benefits under the terms of the existing Teamster contract, and protected the work from being outsourced to sub-contractors. To get this done the Teamsters combined their legal expertise, political clout and incredible member support. No other union has achieved this kind of victory.

Take the time to talk to the Frontier mechanics. Get the specifics on the excellent representation they have received from the Teamsters.
