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 in preparing for and managing strikes.
According to the IAM, the new manual provides step-by-step information on strike authorization votes, legal considerations, communication strategies, picket-line operations, and support for members throughout the process. The organization states that the updated resource incorporates recent best practices and lessons learned to help members effectively navigate 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 IAM describes the manual as easy to use and comprehensive, aiming to equip its membership with practical tools before, during, and after a strike.
