(Psst. See if you can get an IAM withdrawal card.)
After the IAM was voted out at NWA, our stewards collected withdrawal cards and the required money from many of us. The IAM spitefully decided we could not have a withdrawal card, since we had voted them out. Instead, they offered us a chance to become associate members of the IAM, which puzzled many of us, as the IAM had told us that it was bad to be associate members of a another union when the IAM represented us, but now it was acceptable to be associate members of the IAM while represented by AMFA. Go figure.
You are really gonna enjoy reading the letters of agreement that the IAM signed.
