Tom Trotter, Director
Political and Legislative Dept.
\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 department promotes pro-worker legislation such as workers'
rights, job security, and workplace safety. The department also works
for fair trade laws and promotes our members' products to help them
compete successfully.
With the takeover of Congress by strong anti-labor interests, many of
the laws that protect workers are in danger of repeal. The Legislative
Department has stopped many of the worst attacks on our members from
becoming law.

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.

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.
