You face a serious choice. The union you select today will affect not only the rest of your working life, but the lives of
those people closest to you.

Everything — from where you go on vacation, to what kind of house you can aff ord, to how well you educate your
children if you have them, to the dignity of your own retirement — will be affected by the choice you’ll be making soon.

Here’s what the IAM, and only the IAM, has to offer.

Higher Wages
Benefit from higher Base Pay, Incentive Pay, higher Per Diem, and White Flag Day pay.

Flexibility
Help yourself to Instant Trades, Unlimited Trades, Jetway Trades — and have the money to enjoy them.

Democracy
IAM members write and approve their own bylaws and nominate and directly elect all their officers.

Pension
Nobody wants to work forever. Both United and Continental offer a 401(k) match, and that’s good.

What distinguishes an IAM retirement is the defi ned benefit Continental Airlines Retirement Plan and the IAM-negotiated backup plan — the IAM National Pension Plan — in addition to a 401(k) match.

The World’s Largest Airline Union
Better wages, flexibility, democracy, and pensions are just part of it. Only one union can possibly achieve representation of 75% of the combined workforce at the new United, while still maintaining totally distinct bargaining units.

Just a few of the benefits of IAM representation are outlined in this comparison.
