LEGISLATIVE ACTION
Legislative Action
Election Information - Elections and Candidates Whether it's working behind the scenes getting an anti-labor provision removed from a bill or mobilizing a nationwide grassroots effort, the Legislative Department is one of the few voices in government fighting for working men and women.
The Political / Legislative Department of the IAM At the IAM''s Political and Legislative Department, our primary focus is jobs. We are constantly pressing Members of Congress to find new and innovative approaches to job creation, pay special attention to the job retention issues and insure that our members and the companies they work for remain victors in the global economic battles. Each day finds us pushing for more: more worker rights, more job security, more jobs, more training, more development, and more political education.

Machinists Non-Partisan Political League
The Machinists Non-Partisan Political League is the
political arm of the International Association of Machinists
and Aerospace Workers. It was created in 1947 to allow IAM
members to gather individual contributions, coordinate
political activity, and elect candidates who support IAM
members and their families.
Candidates we support know that the MNPL stands for economic
justice, security in the workplace and equality for every
member. They do not take us for granted.
The MNPL scrutinizes each candidate thoroughly. We ask tough
questions such as their positions on trade, labor law reform,
economic conversion, transportation policies, and enhancement
of the U.S. manufacturing base.

Who's fighting to protect your job, pension, health
insurance and social security? Who's wrestling with the
current administration over CAFTA, Social Security and JOBS?
Who's protecting your health and safety, your right to
organize, your job security? Who's taking on the
multi-national corporations' schemes to demean the American
Dream, to weaken North America's might? Who's battling
Corporate America's 34,000 high-priced lobbyists day in and
day out?
MNPL is. The Machinists Non-Partisan Political League is
IAM's heavyweight champion when it comes to politics and
legislation. But these fights are expensive. Sadly, money
buys access in the halls of power. And politicians listen
more closely when contributors come calling. So, MNPL needs
your contribution to wage these fights.
