 WHY JOIN A UNION


If you need a union, you came to the right place! The IAM’s mission is Service to the Community and Justice on the Job. Justice on the Job starts with organizing a union. Union members earn better wages and benefits than workers who aren’t union members. On average, union workers’ wages are 30 percent higher than their nonunion counterparts. While only 14 percent of nonunion workers have guaranteed pensions, fully 68 percent of union workers do. More than 97 percent of union workers have jobs that provide health insurance benefits, but only 85 percent of nonunion workers do. Unions help employers create a more stable, productive workforce—where workers have a say in improving their jobs. The IAM Organizing Department can help you in many ways. We have an experienced and motivated staff to lead you through your campaign. These people work very hard to maintain our winning record. If you’re already in a union, we may be able to help you affiliate with the IAM. Being a part of the large, successful IAM can improve your bargaining power and provide many member-only benefits. Organizations like the Shipbuilders Union, Die Sinkers International Union, Wichita Engineer Association, Patternmakers Union, International Woodworkers of America and the National Federation of Federal Employees have all joined the IAM family. Call the Organizing Department at (301) 967-4750 or click here to send an email. Do it today! Let’s get started organizing right away!
