PEACE OF MIND
Is uncertainty impacting your future?
EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS
We, the people, have the right to take action and improve our lives.
What’s an Authorization Card?
Collecting authorization cards is how we know there’s a genuine interest in forming a Union. Once enough cards are collected, we can petition the federal goverment for a Union election. Signing a card does not mean you have joined the Union. That’s an enirely seperate process. Don’t let management scare you with misleading information about the authorization card. Otherwise, they win and provide themselves even more control over the workforce. Take a moment and watch a short video explaining the authorization card.

The Benefits of Belonging
Union Sportsman Alliance
IAMAW members get free membership to Union Sportsmen’s Alliance — one of the largest conservation organizations in North America. We engage, educate and organize Union members and their families who share our passion for hunting, fishing, shooting and the great outdoors.”
Fairness
A union-negotiated contract puts rules in place that allow you to do your job without fear of retaliation or unjust treatment. If you feel those rules have been broken, you have the legal right to appeal through a grievance procedure. As a result, everyone is treated with respect.
Free College
The IAMAW Free College Benefit makes higher education more accessible to all our members and their families. You can pursue a two or four year degree for no out-of-pocket cost. All members and their spouses, siblings, children, step-children, grandchildren, and in-laws are eligible for the benefit.
IAMAW-Humana Medicare Advantage Plan
The new exclusive Passive Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Group Medicare Advantage plan is rich in benefits and has nationwide coverage. This means you can see any doctor and receive any treatment at facilities that accept traditional Medicare. In-network and out-of-network benefits are identical.”
