Siblings, Welcome to the IAM.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local Lodge 388 is located in Davenport, IA.  We are committed to building strong communities for everyone in the areas we live and work.  This site serves to bring relevant news and education to members and interested third parties. Together we can achieve economic liberation for all. 

Preamble to the IAM Constitution:
Believing that the right of those who toil to enjoy to the
full extent the wealth created by their labor is a natural
right, and realizing that under the changing industrial
conditions incident to the enormous growth of syndicates
and other aggregations of capital it is impossible for those
who toil to obtain the full reward of their labor other than
through united action; and recognizing the fact that those
who toil should use their rights of citizenship
intelligently, through organizations founded and acting
along cooperative, economic and political lines, using the
natural resources, means of production and distribution
for the benefit of all the people, with the view of restoring
the commonwealth to all those performing useful service
to society;
Now, Therefore; We, the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers, pledge ourselves to
labor unitedly in behalf of the principles herein set forth,
to perpetuate our Association on the basis of solidarity
and justice, to expound its objects, to labor for the general
adoption of its principles, to consistently endeavor to
bring about a higher standard of living among the toiling
masses.
