International Longshoremen's Assn Local 1969
The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) is the largest union representing maritime workers in North America, with a membership of over 85,000 longshoremen across the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, the Great Lakes, major U.S. rivers, Puerto Rico, Eastern Canada, and the Bahamas. Established in 1892, the ILA has a rich history rooted in the labor movement and is dedicated to advocating for the rights and working conditions of its members.
Affiliated with prominent labor organizations such as the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) and the Canadian Labour Congress, the ILA plays a vital role in addressing contemporary issues facing maritime workers, including the impacts of automation on jobs. The union's ongoing efforts reflect a commitment to solidarity and the protection of workers' rights in an evolving industry.
