International Longshoremen's
The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) is the largest union representing maritime workers in North America, encompassing over 85,000 longshoremen across the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, the Great Lakes, major U.S. rivers, Puerto Rico, Eastern Canada, and the Bahamas. Founded in 1892 with roots tracing back to a 1877 union of longshoremen on the Great Lakes, the ILA is committed to advocating for the rights and welfare of its members amid the evolving challenges in the maritime industry.
Affiliated with prominent labor organizations such as the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, the Canadian Labour Congress, and the International Transport Workers Federation, the ILA plays a crucial role in addressing job security and the impact of automation on maritime labor. The union's initiatives, including educational resources and conventions, emphasize solidarity and continuous support for longshore workers' rights and livelihoods.
