IAM General Secretary-Treasurer Dora Cervantes recently visited the Puget Sound to meet with IAM members taking a bold stand for a fair contract at Boeing.
Approximately 34,000 IAM District 751 and District W24 members have been on strike at the aerospace giant since Sept. 13.
“Our membership is strong and energized, and they have the backing of our entire union,” said Cervantes. “We are going to stand with them every step of the way until our members get the contract they deserve.”
Members are receiving strike pay through new IAM-provided debit cards, which allow members to focus more on picket line solidarity.
Cervantes, who was joined by Special Assistant Bryan Pinette, visited picket lines and strike headquarters to hear stories from members who are standing strong for what they deserve.
“The solidarity I’m seeing represents everything the IAM stands for,” said Cervantes. “We’re going to continue to stay united and win this fight for every working family.”
