The Machinists Non-Partisan Political League is the political arm of the International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. It was created in 1947 to allow IAM
members to gather individual contributions, coordinate political activity, and elect candidates
who support IAM members and their families.

Candidates we support know that the MNPL stands for economic justice, security in the
workplace and equality for every member. They do not take us for granted.

The MNPL scrutinizes each candidate thoroughly. We ask tough questions such as their
positions on trade, labor law reform, economic conversion, transportation policies, and
enhancement of the U.S. manufacturing base.
