Union Advantage

The IAM makes good things happen.  The IAM provides dignity and respect and allows you to have a voice at work.

 

The IAM also helps your community.  Wages are better for union workers and this creates a higher standard of living allowing for better schools and public services.  Also, unions help narrow the pay gap between races and sexes.

 

Here are some facts about wages:
