Any employee has the right to Union representation when management questions an employee to obtain information and the employee has a reasonable belief that discipline or other adverse consequence may result from what he or she says. Your Union strongly suggests that you exercise this right.

IAM member Sue Eichstadt discussed the health care crisis with people she met on her 154 mile walk from Windom, Minnesota to St. Paul, Minnesota.

Windom Machinist Completes Health Care Walk

“When I get mad . . . I walk,” said Local 1956 member Sue Eichstadt, who recently completed a seven-day, 154 mile journey from Windom, Minnesota to the state capitol in St. Paul to help focus attention on the health care crisis and put pressure on state legislators.

Upon her arrival in St. Paul, Eichstadt’s daughter and a large group of supporters gathered to help her deliver hundreds of signatures from people she met at town hall meetings along the way.

Minnesota State Senator Linda Berglin and many other lawmakers accepted the signatures. Berglin, who chairs the Senate’s Health and Human Service Budget Division, said she will sponsor legislation to amend the Minnesota constitution to make health care a right.

When asked why she did this Eichstadt replied, “I don’t have all the answers, but for me an amendment to the Constitution for affordable health care is the best way to go.”

People “deserve to have health care,” said Eichstadt, who used her vacation time to complete the trek. “It’s a right. I mean we have the right to hunt and fish, we should have the right to health care. I’m going to keep walking until we get the amendment.”

Democrats Must Do What's Right, Not What's Safe

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.
