“I’d like to thank Brother Delaney for the time he’s represented IAM workers on United’s Board of Directors,” said General Vice President Pantoja. “I look forward to working with the Board to ensure that the long term interests of IAM members at the carrier are fully represented.”
“IAM members at United Airlines will be well served by General Vice President Sito Pantoja on UCH’s Board of Directors,” said District 141 President Mike Klemm. “Brother Pantoja was endorsed by the entire Executive Board of District Lodge 141, who directly represents IAM-represented employees at United Airlines.”
