July Meeting Notice – Please note: A Strike Sanction Vote will be conducted on Saturday, July 20, 2024, for Local 774 members working at Textron Aviation. Polling will occur in Machinists Hall @ District Lodge 70 (3830 S. Meridian) from 6:00 AM – 8:00 PM.
What is a strike sanction vote?
Per the IAM Constitution, Article XVI, Section 1, 1-12, and Official Circular No. 813, a strike sanction vote is required for the IAM to authorize a potential strike and to approve strike benefits for members.
It’s important to understand that the strike sanction vote is not a vote to strike but the authorization to strike. The strike sanction vote is a request for authorization from the IAM by the members of Local Lodge 774 to legally strike if necessary, and to receive strike benefits from the IAM Strike Fund as per the IAMAW Constitution. Not approving a strike sanction vote will result in the inability to receive strike benefits.
We want to see 100% approval of this strike sanction vote! It will send a strong message to the company that our members are dedicated to obtaining a fair and equitable contract.
*There are no absentee ballots for this vote. Members must be present to vote.
