The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) has released an updated version of its Strike Manual. The manual is intended to serve as a guide for IAM members, locals, and districts throughout all phases of a strike.
According to the organization, the new manual provides detailed information on topics such as strike authorization votes, legal requirements, communication strategies, picket-line operations, and support for members. The updated resource incorporates recent best practices and lessons learned by the union.
“IAM members know that preparation is key to winning a fair contract,” said IAM International President Brian Bryant. “This new Strike Manual gives our locals and members the knowledge to plan, protect and prevail.”
The IAM states that this manual aims to ensure that its membership is equipped with current tools and guidance needed during labor actions.
