How can we help you?

Becoming a member of the IAM is simple! If you are employed in an industry or sector represented by the IAM, you can join by contacting your local union representative or filling out a membership application on our website. Once your application is submitted, you'll be guided through the process, including membership dues and the rights and responsibilities of union membership. If you're unsure whether your workplace is unionized, reach out to us, and we can assist you in finding out!

Your union dues help fund a wide range of services and activities that directly support you and your fellow members. This includes:

• Bargaining and Contract Negotiations: Dues support our efforts to negotiate fair wages, benefits, and working conditions on your behalf.
• Legal Support and Professional Services: Dues help provide legal representation for members in disputes, grievances, or workplace issues, and fund access to professional services such as lawyers, economists, and actuaries to ensure strong, informed representation.
• Health and Safety Initiatives: Your dues contribute to programs aimed at improving workplace safety and protecting workers’ rights.
• Member Services and Education: Dues fund training, workshops, and resources that help members develop skills and stay informed about their rights.
• Political Advocacy: A portion of dues may go toward lobbying efforts to support pro-worker policies and labor laws that benefit our members.
• Strike and Contingency Funds: Dues help maintain funds to support members during strikes or other industrial actions, ensuring financial stability and solidarity.
• Servicing and Union Administration: Dues cover the costs of union staff and resources necessary to service members, handle inquiries, and maintain the day-to-day operations of the union.

Your dues ensure the strength and effectiveness of the union, allowing us to represent you, protect your rights, and fight for better conditions both at work and in our communities.

Unions must be political because government decisions directly impact our members’ working conditions and rights. Politicians have the power to create, amend, or enforce laws that directly impact workers and their working conditions.

Unions engage with politicians to advocate for laws and policies that protect workers' rights and improve labour standards. This includes pushing for minimum wage increases, better healthcare, paid leave, and stronger protections against discrimination and unsafe working environments.

Union political involvement ensures that the voices of working people are heard in the halls of government, helping to elect lawmakers who support pro-worker policies. While unions are independent and do not mandate voting for any party, they often endorse candidates or work with politicians who share their commitment to improving conditions for workers.

The union protects your rights by ensuring that your employer follows the collective agreement, which outlines your rights, wages, benefits, and working conditions. If issues arise, such as unfair treatment or violations of the agreement, the union can provide legal support, file grievances, and even represent you in arbitration or court if necessary.

Collective bargaining is the process through which the union negotiates with employers on behalf of all members to establish terms and conditions of employment. This includes wages, benefits, working hours, job security, and other workplace matters. The goal is to secure better conditions and protections for workers.

There are many ways to get involved! You can attend union meetings, participate in events or rallies, join union committees, or even run for union office. Getting involved helps strengthen the union and gives you a voice in decisions that affect your workplace.

A grievance is a formal complaint made by a union member regarding a violation of the collective bargaining agreement or unfair treatment at work. The union will investigate the issue, provide support to the member, and follow a process to resolve the grievance, which may include discussions with management, mediation, or legal action if needed.
