Working people. Standing together.

IAM District W24 represents thousands of workers across Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. We stand together to win fair wages, protect benefits,

and give working people a stronger voice on the job. We believe every worker deserves to come home safe, support their family, and be treated with dignity and respect.

​

Our roots

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) was founded in 1888 in a railroad pit in Atlanta, Georgia. The IAM grew from its roots in the railroad and machinist trades to represent workers in aerospace and across many other industries. Today, the union is made up of districts and locals organized by region and industry. Each plays a role in representing members and building worker power.

​

Who we represent

Our members work in machining, aerospace, transportation, marine terminals, light and heavy manufacturing, truck manufacturing, maintenance, and forest products. They’re nurses, mental health professionals, and other healthcare workers. They also serve their communities in schools, public defenders’ offices, public safety, the U.S. Department of Defense, and other areas of public service.

​

What we do

Our members set bargaining priorities, serve as stewards, and stand with their coworkers when problems arise. District W24 supports our locals at the bargaining table, helps enforce union contracts, and works with people who want to organize a union in their workplace. Whether you’re a longtime member, new to the IAM, or curious about what a union could mean for you and your coworkers, we’re glad you’re here. Get in touch to find your local lodge, get involved, or talk with us about organizing your workplace.
