The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) has released an updated version of its Strike Manual, aimed at guiding members, local lodges, and districts through the process of organizing and executing a strike.
The new manual provides step-by-step guidance on essential aspects such as strike authorization votes, legal obligations, communication strategies, picket-line management, and support for members throughout all phases of a strike. According to the IAM, the resource incorporates current best practices and recent experiences to ensure that union members are well-equipped during labor actions.
“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 release of this manual reflects the organization’s ongoing commitment to supporting its membership with up-to-date resources for collective bargaining efforts.
