‘It Pays to Belong’ to the IAM
Two IAM members know the value of a strong union and the protections of a strong contract. Casey Sevy and Randy Elix, members of Local 314, returned to their jobs at a Honeywell facility in Kansas City, Mo. They were terminated after an accident that occurred during weekend maintenance work on high-voltage panels almost four years ago, reports DBR Mike Repke.

An arbitrator ordered the two workers re-instated to their jobs with full back pay and benefits, as well full seniority—minus 100 calendar days. The back pay could amount to more than $100,000 for each of them, Repke noted. Due to the complexity of the case, it took the arbitrator more than three years to issue his 95-page decision.

“This is a good win,” Repke said. “We are pleased with the arbitrator’s ability to sort out the facts considering the accusations the company made during this case.”

Justice
on the Job

The right to a voice and a vote on proposals for wages and working conditions is something that the IAM Constitution guarantees to every union member.
