The number of retirees in the IAM doubled over the past decade and continues to grow, perhaps because our awesome retirees believe “that you may retire from your job, but you never retire from your union.” These dynamic, life-long unionists are instrumental in changing not only local communities but society, and are indeed a force to be reckoned with. The Retirees, Community and Membership Services Department works with the Alliance for Retired Americans and other seniors' groups to ensure a good retirement for our members.
