Members of IAM Local 2525, working under the B1 Training Support SCA contract with AT2, LLC and Systems Application & Technologies, Inc. (SA-TECH), have unanimously ratified a new three-year collective bargaining agreement. The contract, effective through June 25, 2028, delivers significant improvements in wages, benefits, and retirement security for the bargaining unit based in Belle Fourche, S.D.
Negotiations were led by IAM Aerospace Coordinator Stephen P. Jordan, who worked closely with District 5 Business Representative Steve Allard, whose leadership and professionalism were instrumental in achieving this agreement.
The newly ratified contract includes an immediate $2 equity pay adjustment, along with 4% general wage increases each year of the agreement. Health and welfare contributions will increase annually. Additionally, the IAM National Pension Plan contributions will grow from $3 per hour to $3.75 per hour over the life of the contract.
“I would like to acknowledge Business Representative Steve Allard for his great work and professionalism in achieving this agreement,” said Jordan. “Steve has a great mindset in doing what’s right in representing the membership. I would also like to acknowledge the shop committee Chay Ericks and Reggie Hunt for their work representing the bargaining unit.”
The 100% ratification vote reflects the membership’s strong support for the agreement and the improvements it delivers.
“With the support of IAM Aerospace Coordinator Stephen Jordan, contract negotiations for our members at SA-TECH went exceedingly well,” said IAM Midwest Territory General Vice President Sam Cicinelli. “We are proud of the bargaining committee’s efforts and the incredible contract they brought to Local 2525 members. My thanks to everyone involved and congratulations to these members on a great new agreement.”
