THIS IS A UNION REPRESENTED POSITION

We are proud to be affiliated with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers AFL-CIO, District Lodge 190, which represents this position at our company. This means you become part of the union within 30 days of being hired and your wages and benefits are established through the CBA negotiation process. Your starting wage will be determined based on your relevant skills and experience, and you will be placed on a development plan that leads to a wage increase based on your success every six-months, until you achieve journeyman status.
