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 lodges, and districts throughout all phases of a strike.
According to the IAM, the manual provides step-by-step information on topics such as strike authorization votes, legal considerations, communication strategies, picket line operations, and support for members. The organization states that the new edition incorporates recent best practices and lessons learned to better equip its members.
“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 manual aims to help ensure that IAM members are well-prepared before a strike begins and have continued support during and after labor actions.
