Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Executive Council and delegates met in Savannah, Georgia, to address several key topics, including the ongoing government shutdown and strategies for increasing union voter turnout before the 2026 midterm elections. The meeting also focused on the political influence of unions in Georgia.
Later in the week, IAM International President Bryant delivered a keynote address at the Georgia State AFL-CIO convention. The event highlighted efforts to strengthen union participation and engagement in the state’s political process.
The gathering reflects a broader trend of labor organizations working to mobilize their members for upcoming elections and advocate for their interests at both state and national levels.
