IAM Launches 'Cyberlodge' Project goiam.org
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) is offering the benefits of union membership to traditionally independent computer programmers and developers whose jobs are increasingly at risk from outsourcing, off-shoring and outright elimination.
The unique IAM organizing project, called ‘Cyberlodge,’ features a guild-like structure where workers retain their traditional employee-employer relationship while enjoying benefits normally reserved for employees with collective bargaining agreements.
