Above is a video about the IAM’s Veterans Services Program, which brings together IAM veterans from across the United States and Canada.
Brothers and Sisters,
The Machinists Union has a special bond with our armed forces and the brave men and women who serve and have served. Every day, our membership proudly supports our military’s mission.
We work alongside service men and women at military bases across the country. We build and maintain the state-of-the-art equipment our military counts on in dangerous areas of the world. Our union has a long tradition of being there for those who put their lives on the line for all of us.
Many of our members are veterans themselves. They don’t often speak about their service because they did not enlist for recognition or accolades. Today, and every day, we honor their bravery and recommit our union to serving every veteran and their families.
Happy Veterans Day, Machinists.
In Solidarity,
Bob Martinez
International President
