William W.
Winpisinger Education & Technology Center As we enter the
new century, the only way to keep up with change is with
education. The William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology
Center is the IAM's most visible sign of our commitment to provide
a world class educational facility to train future IAM leaders.
The Winpisinger Center teaches what it is to be a trade
unionist. By studying labor history and the role unions play in
our society, students learn that unions are more than service
organizations. We are part of a larger movement toward economic
and social justice with dignity on the job.
