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, locals, and districts through all stages of a strike, including preparation, execution, and follow-up.
According to the IAM, the revised manual provides step-by-step information on processes such as strike authorization votes, legal requirements, communication strategies, picket-line management, and support for members. The update incorporates recent best practices and lessons learned by the organization.
“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 resource aims to help union members organize more effectively during labor disputes.
