“Happy Birthday to all Machinists Union members”, said Dave Chartrand, IAM Canadian General Vice-President. “We have come a long way from that locomotive pit in Atlanta and the days when unions were illegal. But that doesn’t mean we should take anything for granted. We all know how quickly we can lose all we have fought for. We have two major provincial elections in Canada this year, and a critical mid-term election in the US. I urge all members and their families to get out there and vote for people who support workers. Do this for the generations who will come after us. Happy Birthday IAM!”
