Approximately 65 new IAM Union officers and staff across North America recently completed the IAM Foundational Skills class at the William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center in Hollywood, Md.
The week-long course trained new officer and staff members on essential skills to best serve IAM Union members. Two full classrooms were utilized to accommodate the attendees.
Participants focused on time management and scheduling techniques to effectively serve our membership. The curriculum also included a math program to strengthen their ability to analyze and negotiate contracts.
Representatives from various IAM Union departments at IAM headquarters addressed the class during the week.
The IAM Union Communications Department discussed strategies for communicating with IAM Union members using the media. Attendees participated in a media training exercise, learning how to interact with journalists and understand the importance of media relations.
