The conference focused on issues surrounding the aerospace industry in the areas of collective bargaining, healthcare, new technology and organizing. Attendees took part in breakout sessions discussing these areas with experienced members of each field.
In attendance were two of the IAM’s newest members who helped their fellow Flight Line Technicians in South Carolina stand up to Boeing’s anti-union pressure and voted to have a voice in their workplace. They joined IAM Organizing Department Director Vinny Addeo in a panel discussion about their fight for union representation.
IAM District 776 hosted Activate Live for the F-35 plant tour and cookout.
