The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) has released an updated version of its Strike Manual. The manual is intended to guide IAM members, local chapters, and districts through all phases of a strike.
According to the IAM, the manual covers topics such as strike authorization votes, legal requirements, communication strategies, picket-line operations, and support for members. The organization states that the new edition incorporates current best practices and lessons learned from previous strikes.
“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 help union members navigate the complexities of labor actions by providing clear instructions and updated information relevant to modern labor relations.
