Welcome to the IAM&AW

Welcome to the IAMAW District Lodge 60's website. If you need a union, you came to the right place! You have taken the first step towards a better life for you and your family by seeing what the Machinists Union can do for you.

The IAM’s mission is Service to the Community and Justice on the Job. Justice on the Job starts with organizing a union. MONEY. That’s the bottom line in the world of work! And union members make a lot more money than non-union employees, U.S. government figures show.
