Layoffs, low pay, and long hours define the semiconductor industry in Portland. Environmental harms also weigh heavy on the PDX community. From massive water and electricity consumption, to toxic waste and chemicals entering our water.

What's the solution? To organize with the union leading the fight against climate change: The IAM Union.

The IAM Union is at the forefront of efforts to combat climate change and create livable communities. We know the semiconductor industry won't listen to workers' demands or go green by themselves. They need a push from an organized workforce. Don't wait for someone else to take the lead. If you're reading this, you are the person we've been looking for. Organize your industry with the IAM Union.

Forming a union with the IAM means having a real say on the job. Union members typically enjoy higher pay, better benefits, job security, and safer workplaces. That is why over 600,000 North Americans have joined the IAM in many different industries. Our organizing team fights tirelessly to maintain our winning record in improving the lives of workers. Take the first step to organizing your workplace by reaching out with this form.
