Service + Solidarity Spotlight: TWU Members Rock the Aerospace Maintenance Competition

Working people across the United States have stepped up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our regular Service + Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.

After a two-year hiatus, the Aerospace Maintenance Competition was back in action last month in Dallas. Members of Transport Workers Union (TWU) locals 514, 591 and 567 who work for American Airlines stood out among their friendly rivals. In the overall maintenance repair overhaul category, American Airlines workers made it to the podium—twice. The team from Tulsa, Oklahoma, placed second and the DWH Air Raiders team from Texas placed third. Both teams had talented mechanics from TWU. An all-women team (pictured above) also took part, which included a member of Local 514.
