IAM Jobs

IAM Jobs

The IAM fights for good, middle-class, family-wage jobs in many industries. If you, or someone you know, is actively seeking employment and an opportunity for a job in a union environment, please return to this page frequently for tips on some of our employers who are currently hiring.

For those who are employed, but see the benefits of union representation, please see the information at the bottom or visit our Join the IAM page. Statistics show that union members achieve higher wages, better benefits and more job security than their non-union counterparts.

Important reminder! If you are laid off, remember to apply for a withdrawal card so your IAM membership does not lapse. Contact your Shop Steward or Business Representative, or visit your Union Hall at 3645 SE 32nd Avenue in Portland.
