The state council brought together IAM labor leaders and advocates to discuss legislative priorities, workplace challenges, and organizing strategies impacting thousands of machinists across the state.
The multi-day state council meeting featured policy briefings, leadership workshops, and addresses from local, state, and national labor allies. Discussions focused on contract negotiations, job protections, workforce development, and the role of organized labor in shaping public policy.
“This is the 129th conference of the New York State Council of Machinists, and I am proud to say that we had 74 delegates in attendance, along with an additional 30 to 35 guests,” said NYSCOM President Norm Shreve. “We were also pleased to have strong participation from several elected officials. We’ve gathered a lot of valuable information during this meeting, and our delegates will take it back to their locals to share with members who couldn’t attend.”
NYSCOM is the political arm for our New York locals and districts to help strengthen our voice, protect workers’ rights, and build momentum for working families in New York. The solidarity and commitment shown here reaffirm our mission as a powerful force for economic and social justice.”
