CLEVELAND — The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers is filing applications with the National Labor Relations Board that could lead to union representation elections for nearly 400 workers at EXAL Corp. in Youngstown, manufacturers of impact extruded aluminum containers.

With nearly 700,000 active and retired members, the IAM is one of the largest and most diverse labor unions in North America.

Last June, EXAL employees voted 249 to 87 against representation by the Teamsters union.
