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, local chapters, and districts throughout all phases of a strike.
According to the IAM, the manual provides information on topics such as strike authorization votes, legal requirements, communication strategies, picket-line operations, and support for members. The organization states that the resource incorporates recent best practices and lessons learned to help members navigate the complexities of 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 manual aims to ensure that union members are equipped with relevant tools and guidance before, during, and after any strike action.
