IAM members from coast to coast gathered in New Orleans for the Machinists Non-Partisan Political League (MNPL) National Planning Conference. MNPL relies on voluntary donations from IAM members to support candidates who support core IAM issues, such as fair trade and workers’ rights.

IAM Union Southern Territory General Vice President Craig Martin brought greetings to the MNPL delegates. GVP Martin encouraged the delegates with a welcome message that focused on labor’s history and let members know that labor was built during hard times due to the strength and solidarity of workers.
This year’s MNPL conference involved planning for the next election cycle and increasing IAM members’ participation.
IAM Union International President Brian Bryant addressed the delegates with a strong message.
“The IAM and MNPL don’t advocate for a Republican or Democratic agenda – we fight for the IAM’s agenda,” said IAM International President Brian Bryant. “And in the face of everything we’re up against, we must double down. Right here and right now, we are committing to being more engaged than ever in the political process.”
