The IAM Young Workers Leadership Program is helping to prepare the next generation of union leaders by equipping young members with the tools, knowledge and confidence they need to make a difference.
Young workers are the foundation of a strong and growing IAM Union. Through leadership and education, participants connected with other members from all walks of life, building lasting relationships that strengthened their leadership skills, and learned how to take that knowledge back to their committees and the shop floor.
“I couldn’t be more proud of these young workers,” said IAM Women’s and Young Workers Director Dee Colbert. “As they return to their home locals, they will set an example of trade unionists with more knowledge and empowerment.”
