ABOUT US

District 142 is an Air Transport District of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), Air Transport Territory, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. We currently serve over 40,000 active and retired members at 44 IAMAW locals across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. 

Our members work in the aviation industry for airlines, airport service companies and the defense sector of Service Contract Act (SCA) workers. They work as customer service representatives, reservation agents, flight attendants, ramp agents, air cargo agents, aircraft maintenance technicians, maintenance instructors, ground equipment mechanics, aircraft cleaners, fuelers, general aviation maintenance technicians, Customs and Border Protection agents and more. 

We negotiate industry-leading collective bargaining agreements between our membership with their local elected leadership and their employers. Our work does not end after contracts are signed. We provide Justice on the Job and Service in the Community with hands-on support for all of our members to ensure their employers are honoring their contractual language and providing a safe environment and workplace.

We continuously work to promote safety, justice on the job, a livable wage and industry leading affordable health care with a voice at the negotiating table, and we will always fight for equality and human rights.
