From Education to Action: IAM Union Rolls Out 2026 Human Rights Programs at Winpisinger Center

The IAM Human Rights Department is now accepting registrations for two upcoming 2026 Human Rights Programs at the William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center in Hollywood, Md. The goal of the programs is to help strengthen Human Rights Committees and equip IAM activists with the tools needed to promote fairness, equality, and inclusion across our union and workplaces.

Participants will receive training to:

• Strengthen local and district-level engagement in advancing human rights
• Defend and improve worker rights through the legislative process
• Support organizing efforts that prioritize traditionally underrepresented workers
• Develop strategies to address and intervene in workplace harassment
• Learn about IAM resources available to support Human Rights Committee work 

Human Rights Committees play a vital role in building inclusive participation in union leadership and promoting diversity, mutual respect, and equality throughout the IAM.
