More than 300 IAM members who perform aircraft maintenance at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, have ratified a new contract with DTS Aviation Services that provides wage increases of 14.5 percent over the life of the four-year agreement.
In addition to the wage increases, six additional classifications will receive a three percent equity adjustment while adding eight new classifications with increases up to 20 percent above what those classifications were previously earning.
The new accord, negotiated under Service Contract Act guidelines, also includes the IAM National Pension Plan and maintains the current 401(k) plan. Other improvements were made in vacation, sick leave, shift differential, shoe allowance, life insurance and working conditions.
