International Longshoremen's

The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) is the largest union representing maritime workers in North America, advocating for over 85,000 longshoremen across the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, Great Lakes, major U.S. rivers, Puerto Rico, Eastern Canada, and the Bahamas. Established in 1892, the ILA has a rich history that dates back to the Association of Lumber Handlers on the Great Lakes and is affiliated with prominent labor organizations like the AFL-CIO and the International Transport Workers Federation.

Committed to protecting the rights and well-being of its members, the ILA has been at the forefront of labor movements, addressing issues such as job security and the impacts of automation in the maritime industry. Through its various initiatives and partnerships, the ILA continues to promote solidarity among dockworkers while honoring their contributions to labor, civil, and human rights.
