Guide Dogs Weekend!

Unity and Growth conference San Diego Aug 2023

"America’s labor movement will not rest until Weyerhaeuser comes back with an offer that our brothers & sisters deserve!... These workers aren't alone. You are fighting 12.5 million members of the AFL-CIO!" - AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer Fred Redmond voicing strong with our woodworkers in Washington and Oregon ⚙️💪

Who's excited about the 40th Grand Lodge Convention? We are! If you are attending, make sure to come by the Winpisinger Center booth - we'll have giveaways, daily raffles (10+ items each day!), information about the IAM Educator reboot, and, most importantly, copies of the 2023 program schedule! We can't wait to see you there.

Our union’s 134-year history is deeply connected to the tradition and celebration of Labor Day - It was a Machinist who founded Labor Day all the way back in 1882!

Since then, we’ve gotten stronger, larger and bolder with every passing year. Our members make the world move through the air and on the ground.

We have so much to be proud of—and so much to look forward to. Happy Labor Day!

Fighting Machinist's with Congresswoman Dina Titus and Congressman Steven Horsford on Capitol Hill!

IAM Legislative Conference

Dear Sisters, Brothers and Friends of the IAM,

This weekend, and every day, we remember and honor all those who gave their lives for our freedom and the promise of freedom to people around the world. It is a day to remember our fallen service men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of the freedoms we enjoy.

The IAM has a special connection to our military - many IAM members are veterans. Thousands of our members also work in the civilian defense sector, supporting the missions of our military men and women. Even thousands more work in the aerospace industry, building the finest high-tech equipment our military needs to do their jobs. The Machinists Union is proud of the work we do to keep our military and our country safe.

We also owe a great debt of gratitude to our Sisters and Brothers in Canada who have given their lives protecting the values we share.

We have the right to unionize because there are brave men and women who have left their families, put themselves in harm’s way, and in some cases, given their lives to protect our freedoms. We must remember their service and honor their memory.

In solidarity,

Robert Martinez Jr.
IAM International President
