Fort Worth's Robert Martinez is retiring after eight years leading the IAM one of the country's largest labor unions.
The Fort Worth native spent 43 years as a member of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers
Robert Martinez Jr., international labor union president, who is retiring after four decades pose for a portrait on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023, at IAM District Lodge 776 in Fort Worth. Martinez, a U.S. Naval Air veteran, began his IAM career as an aircraft assembler at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Fort Worth.
More than 16 million workers were represented by a union in 2022, according to the Economic Policy Institute. That’s an increase of 200,000 from 2021. Throughout that year, the number of workers involved in a major work stoppage increased by nearly 50%, more than 120,000 On top of the worries of his members, he also had the financial concerns of the machinists union itself. The labor group offered voluntary retirement incentive plans, which nearly 60 of the union’s 500 Grand Lodge workers, or those working for Martinez, accepted. Some others were laid off, Martinez said. For a year, the labor group’s training facility staffed only its security guards.Martinez and his team began lobbying virtually for the Payroll Support Program.
Among those is a first within the labor community. Martinez engendered a rank-and-file endorsement of a presidential candidate. The decision to do so stemmed from a local union president asking Martinez early in his tenure when the membership would be able to contribute to the endorsement. His team began creating an electric ballot short after.
