A stronger future is built when workers stand together — and this merger between PPPWU and the IAM is about building real strength for the membership.
This is bigger than just changing a name. This is about giving PPPWU members more power, more protection, more resources, and a stronger future for the next generation coming behind us.
The IAM brings a larger network, stronger organizing power, education programs, legal support, political strength, training opportunities, and experience fighting for workers across multiple industries. In today’s world, smaller unions are constantly under attack by corporations looking to cut wages, cut benefits, and divide workers. Standing alone gets harder every year.
Together, we become stronger at the bargaining table.
Stronger in organizing.
Stronger in arbitration.
Stronger in training young members.
And stronger when companies try to take advantage of workers.
At the W3 Center, WE saw firsthand what solidarity really looks like. Members from different locals and industries treated each other like brothers and sisters from day one. Young members were learning leadership, negotiations, labor history, and how to protect the future of the labor movement. That kind of investment in members matters.
This merger gives PPPWU members access to more opportunities while still protecting the values and identity that built this union in the first place.
The companies are getting bigger.
The corporations are getting richer.
Labor needs to get stronger too.
This merger is about growth.
It’s about security.
It’s about power.
And it’s about making sure working people have a strong voice for years to come.
Vote for strength.
Vote for solidarity.
Vote for the future.
