WE ARE LOCAL 639!! A collective bargaining union at Bombardier in Wichita Kansas. We fall under District 70 in the southern territory of the International Association of Machinist and Aerospace workers. Our Union is made up of roughly 220 members.
The story of the labor movement needs to be taught in every school in this land…. America is a living testimonial to what free men and women, organized in free democratic trade unions, can do to make a better life. We ought to be proud of it.
