International Association of Machinists
and
Aerospace Workers
The Virginia State Council of Machinists is the political arm of the IAM
in the Commonwealth.
The
Council works on behalf of all working families through involvement in the
political process. We do this in cooperation with the Virginia Central Labor
Councils, the Virginia AFL-CIO, other IAM Local and District Lodges, The
Machinists Non-Partisan Political League, the IAM Southern Territory and the IAM
Transportation Department. The Virginia State Council of Machinists was organized April 19, 1942 for
the following purpose: |
Virginia State Council of Machinists President Rick Howard (left) with
Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine at the AFL-CIO Legislative Conference
in Richmond. |
 | To promote a closer cooperation with one another so that a more
efficient coordination can be achieved on matters concerning our membership
and trade jurisdiction as set forth in the IAM Constitution and Bylaws.
|
| To advocate, promote and sponsor legislation on a state and national
scale in the interest of the organized workers for a more improved social
economy. Furthermore, this Council must insist on the entire membership
being qualified to vote for friends of labor in elections, both state and
national, and keep the membership informed as to the qualifications of the
candidates for office in all organizations with which the Machinists may be
affiliated.
|
| To protect its members and affiliates against any encroachment upon its
right, jurisdictional or otherwise, by hostile individuals or organizations.
|
| To serve as an agency in the dissemination of ideas and information
among the Machinists' Lodges in the State of Virginia.
|
| To bring about a better understanding between our membership and their
respective employers.
|
| To keep all affiliated informed on all state and national labor laws
affecting our membership by furnishing copies and court ruling when such
is available.
