IAM Educator

The William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center is pleased to announce that a new issue of IAM Educator, an indispensable resource for union stewards, is now available. This issue investigates the rise of child labor in the workplace and how unions can use their strength to combat the trend and make workplaces safer for all workers. It also has articles on union membership gains and the NLRB ruling that employers must reimburse lost wages and other fees workers incur when illegally fired for organizing in the workplace.

Prescription Safety Eyewear Locations

Textron Aviation employees have a union-negotiated benefit in Article 42.14, of up to $150 allowance for prescription safety eyewear annually through a company-approved vendor.

Safe Vision, by Hoya, is an approved company vendor that schedules in-house times and locations on a weekly/monthly basis. If you work an off-shift or miss an allocated time, there are additional off-site locations where you can order your safety eyeglasses, and we’ve put the list together for your convenience.
