Montréal, QC – Workers at National Precision are the newest members of IAMAW Local Lodge 1758.
“Health and Safety issues were the main reasons these workers sought protection and representation with the Machinists,” explained Hélène Fréchette, IAMAW District Lodge 11 Organizer. “Once these workers had a chance to talk with IAMAW District 11 Business Representative Pierre Brisebois, Luc Morasse, President of Local Lodge 1758 and other lodge officers, their choice to join the Machinists was very clear.”
The 10 new members consist of welders and machinists. They have elected a negotiating committee and will soon begin to negotiate their first collective agreement.
IAMAW, among the largest industrial trade unions in North America, represents more than 700,000 active and retired members, and administers more than 5,000 contracts in transportation, woodworking, aerospace, manufacturing and defense related industries.
