NMB Rejects AMFA’s Election Application at AA

This morning we learned that the National Mediation Board officially rejected AMFA’s application for an election at American Airlines. The Board determined that under well-established NMB rules, AMFA failed to properly file its election petition, thereby barring AMFA from the ballot in the upcoming representation election.

As the NMB found in its letter this morning, AMFA failed to meet a number of well-known requirements for successfully filing a petition for “intervenor status” in a union election at AA:

  1. AMFA’s application did not have the original signatures required by NMB rules.

  2. AMFA’s application was not signed by the chief executive officer of the organization.

  3. AMFA did not submit original authorization cards with its application on the 28th.

  4. AMFA did not submit its application and the supporting authorization cards until after AA submitted its eligibility list.

The bottom line is that the Board found that AMFA failed to file in a timely and adequate manner.
