Lockheed Martin Talks In High Gear “Lockheed Martin is trying to pass on medical and other costs to our members and that is unacceptable,” said John Crowdis, IAM Aerospace Coordinator. “Lockheed Martin is the largest and most successful defense contractor in the nation, their profits are high yet they want to take away benefits and ship American jobs, which are funded by U.S. taxpayers, overseas. Our members are telling us that they won’t stand for this type of corporate greed. Job security is a must in these negotiations.” The current agreements expire on March 1, and a contract vote is scheduled for March 3. “Our negotiating committee will work around the clock to make sure our members have a proposal to consider before March 3rd,” said Crowdis. Information about the Lockheed negotiations is available at the “Lockheed Martin Contract Negotiations” page on the IAM website (http://www.goiam.org/visit.asp?c=2049).
