The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said the two-year tentative agreements cover "industry-best" wage rates, as well as job protection and certain guards against outsourcing roles. The specific terms of the contacts were not disclosed.
The deal comes while United is in talks with labor unions representing its pilots and flight attendants.

"Job security and industry-leading wages are rightfully two top priorities for our membership at United Airlines," said IAM Air Transport Territory Airline Coordinator Tom Regan. In a statement, IAM District 141 said that if the agreements are ratified by members, the union "will be back in negotiations one year from the date these agreements are ratified to bargain for more."
The two-year tentative agreements cover seven work classifications: fleet service workers, passenger service workers, storekeepers, central load planners, maintenance instructors, fleet technical instructors and security officers.
