The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) has released an updated version of its Strike Manual. The manual is intended to assist members, locals, and districts in preparing for and managing strikes.
According to the IAM, the new edition offers guidance on various aspects of strike activity. It includes information about strike authorization votes, legal considerations, communication strategies, picket line operations, and member support. The union states that the resource incorporates recent best practices and lessons learned from previous experiences.
“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 provide members with practical tools throughout all stages of a strike.
