Bernie Sanders Speech DC IAM Union Legislative Conference May 8
Published on May 8, 2019
---
Hundreds of IAM members from across the country are advocating for all working people in Washington, DC this week at the 2019 IAM Legislative Conference.
Members are hearing from political allies and meeting with elected officials on Capitol Hill for Buy America rules, fair trade, universal healthcare, good jobs, retirement security and a host of other issues affecting IAM members.
“We want everyone on Capitol Hill to hear a simple message from 600,000 Fighting Machinists: ‘You’re either with us or you’re against us,’” IAM International President Robert Martinez Jr. told more than 300 delegates in his keynote address. “It is your activism here in Washington, DC and back home that has the power to change the rules back toward working people.”
