The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) has released an updated version of its Strike Manual. The manual is intended to assist IAM members, local chapters, and districts throughout all phases of a strike.
According to the IAM, the manual provides guidance on various aspects of strikes, including strike authorization votes, legal requirements, communication strategies, picket-line operations, and member support. The organization states that the new edition incorporates recent best practices and lessons learned to help members be better prepared.
“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 updated resource aims to ensure that union members have access to relevant information as they navigate labor actions.
