Who Can Join?
Although, we are named the "International Association
of Machinists and Aerospace Workers", we invite all interested in the issues and topics we focus our efforts on to join
or contact us for more information. Currently the Machinists Union incorporates all types of employees including mechanics,
drivers, clerical workers, maintenance workers, technicians, nurses, district attorney's, limo drivers
and a variety of other professions that include all ethnic groups, men and women.
What We Stand For!
District 15 believes every employer should provide you with decent
wages, good benefits, a safe place to work, and treat you with respect. For this reason, we continue to "Organize
the Unorganized"!
Why Workers Choose to Organize
When workers are unclear in respect to work schedules, time-off, work
assignments, pay cuts, or any other changes.
When Supervisors lack fair, consistent and tactful disciplinary procedures.
When workers are mistreated by supervisors and owners.
Disrespectful, discourteous, and inconsiderate treatment.
The inability of the Company to listen when workers speak.
The unwillingness of the Company to address work place problems.
Unwillingness of supervisors to represent workers when they are right.
Lack of sympathy for workers personal problems.
Lack of supervisory training.
Poor working Conditions.
Unresolved Grievances.
A lack of respect, dignity and work place justice.
Low Wages, Poor Benefits and Poor Retirement Plans.(Amazingly,
Poor Wages and Benefits are usually not the primary reasons workers organize.)

Statistics of Union Workers vs. Non-Union Workers According to the U.S. Department of Labor unionized workers earn 28% more
then nonunion workers. Unionized women earn 31% more than nonunion women. Unionized African
Americans earn 37% more than nonunion African American workers. Unionized Latin American
Workers earn 55% more than nonunion Latin American Workers.
Longevity
Nearly
50 percent of union workers have been with their current employers for at least 10 years, only 22 percent of nonunion workers
can make the same claim. Union workers have greater job stability, in part because they're more satisfied with their jobs,
receive better pay, have better benefits and have access to fair grievance procedures.
These are only some reasons why workers
choose to Organize. District 15 can provide you with many more benefits and urge you to contact a Business Representative
in your area. Below find which office best suits you.
