In an overwhelming show of support, IAM Union members have nominated and elected the incumbent Executive Council members and international officers to a new four-year term, beginning July 1, 2025. For the first time in nearly two decades, there will be no need for runoffs for international officer elections.
“On behalf of myself and the entire IAM Executive Council, we would like to thank all IAM members for again upholding our longstanding tradition of union democracy,” said IAM International President Brian Bryant. “We continue to be proud of the IAM’s ‘one member, one vote’ electoral system that gives all members a voice in our union’s future.”
Nominations were held on Jan. 18, 2025 at every IAM Local throughout the United States and Canada. No candidates other than those elected below received enough nominations to hold a full election. A full nomination listing by Local is being finalized and will be released in the coming weeks.
