Our hearts go out to all those impacted by this storm.
The IAM is ready to help our members in anyway possible.
The IAM National Disaster Relief Fund is available for IAM Members:
Members helping members in times of need is a strong tradition in the Machinists union, and the recent string of snow, wind and rain storms across the East coast generated by Hurricane Sandy has caused widespread damage.

Dear James,
This past week has been an extraordinary, trying and true test
of the resilience and spirit of New Yorkers. Though I lost power
for some days, what I experienced pales in comparison to the
loss and devastation so many are facing in the aftermath of the
super storm. My prayers are with those who have lost so much.
As I stopped by the shelter at Nassau Community College and
visited the emergency management center in my town, I saw
firsthand the human capacity to come together and to help one
another in the face of a crisis. Our collective thanks to those
who continue to do all they can to respond to the needs of
shelter, food, water and medical attention that many of our
neighbors are confronting.
In each of our communities, acts of kindness can have great
meaning. As we struggle with disruption in our daily lives, we
realize how much we take for granted. But for those for whom
this storm brought destruction of home, loss of cherished
personal property and, worst of all, loss of loved ones, it's
impossible to imagine the emotions. These neighbors need our
support and our prayers.
My office has estimated the cost of the storm, in terms of
economic impact to New York State, will approach $18 billion.
While cleanup and recovery costs will be offset to a large
extent by federal assistance, there's no question Sandy will
impact all of our bottom lines.
As a reminder, there are several ways in which federal, state
and local governments are working to provide relief to
individuals and businesses. You can find help with housing and
assistance and also get general information on managing your
