The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) joins with all of organized labor in supporting the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike against General Motors. "Their fight is our fight," said IAM International President Tom Buffenbarger.
"Job security is a paramount issue for all American workers. We simply cannot continue to ship our jobs and our children's future overseas," added Buffenbarger. "As new cars, trucks and automotive parts come on line in the years ahead, those jobs need to stay here in the United States. They need to be union jobs. "We will support this strike because these are jobs worth fighting for. Saving American manufacturing jobs is a fight no one can back away from," said Buffenbarger. Founded in 1888, the IAM is among the largest industrial trade unions in North America, representing nearly 700,000 active and retired members in transportation, aerospace, woodworking, shipbuilding and manufacturing sectors.
