IAM Union Members and Their Family Members Receive FREE College
Our IAM Union offers a Free College Benefit to ALL IAM Union members, retirees and their families. Currently, this online college allows you and your family members to earn an associate degree free of charge from Eastern Gateway Community College. The two year degree is transferrable to a four-year degree.
Union membership helps raise workers’ pay. Union workers earn 22.2 percent more than nonunion workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. The union advantage is even more for women coming in at 26.7 percent and helps narrow the income gap that disadvantages women.
