I Want a Union!
Our Local
IAM Local Lodge 1943 is made up of the over 2,000 hardworking men and women at Cleveland Cliffs, Pilot Chemical, and Cummins Sales/Service. We come from diverse backgrounds, but we share a common goal: justice and dignity on the shop floor. Together we have the power to bargain for fair wages, better working conditions, and solid benefits.
The Union Difference
Union members work together to negotiate and enforce a contract with management that guarantees the things you care about like decent raises, affordable health care, job security, and a stable schedule.
Higher Wages
$191 per week than their nonunion counterparts.
Better Benefits
More likely to have employer-provided pensions and health insurance.
Safer Workplace
Safe working conditions that prevent death, illness and injury.
Voice on the Job
Better workplaces and working conditions without the fear of retaliation.
What Unions Don't Do
Protect Low-Performers
Work standards and conduct are just as important in a unionized workplace, and management still has a responsibility to address poor performance. Unions make sure the hiring process is objective, so management can't just hire and promote their friends.
Harm the Employer
People who form a union are more satisfied and productive at work. Joining in unions also reduces costly turnover and makes the workplace safer.
Work Without You
We are stronger together. Unions are democratic, and union members vote on things like union dues, who represents you, and what protections and improvements you want in your contract.
