Nearly 100 Menzies Aviation fuelers at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), represented by Teamsters Local 986, have overwhelmingly ratified a new collective bargaining agreement that delivers substantial wage increases, improved health care coverage, stronger protections against unfair treatment, and critical improvements to scheduling and safety language. The agreement comes after a credible strike threat and months of hard-fought negotiations in which workers twice rejected the company’s inadequate proposals.



“I was hired in 1990, have over 35 years on the job, and this is by far the best contract of my career,” said Mika Ugugala, a mechanic at Menzies Aviation and Local 986 steward. “We are proud of what we’ve accomplished together and look forward to working under a strong Teamsters agreement.”
