Who you are and who you love should never determine your safety or your rights at work.

The IAM fights for every member to stand proud โ€“ with dignity, equality, and solidarity.

Unions claim Trump undermining worker protections on military bases

Unions are being shut out of military bases, making it harder to protect veteran workers. These are the folks keeping our bases runningโ€”why block the people making sure they're safe?

FACT: Taking away workersโ€™ unions makes things worse, not more efficient!

By eliminating employee unionsโ€™ collective bargaining rights, it becomes harder for federal employees to do their jobs.

FACT: Collective bargaining rights for federal workers do not negatively impact the government.

CBAs provide both management and employees with guideposts for an efficient and fair workplace.

The IAM is working with other unions representing federal employees to mount a legal challenge to this unprecedented attack on federal workers.

We will not sit back and watch workers lose the right to representation and a voice on the job.

FACT: This EO is designed to take away workersโ€™ protections and unionsโ€™ abilities to fight back.

Ending payroll dues deduction is another direct attempt to attack unionsโ€™ ability to fight for workers.

Amazon and SpaceX aim to defang the federal labor board. Trump may help. Trump allies have discussed breaking tradition and firing opponents on the National Labor Relations Board, which also faces legal challenges from SpaceX and Amazon.

Amazon, SpaceX and other powerful companies are trying to dismantle the NLRB and gut workersโ€™ right to join unions. This is billionaire-led union-busting, plain and simple.
