International Longshoremen's Association
The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) is the largest union representing maritime workers in North America, with over 85,000 members across the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, Great Lakes, major U.S. rivers, Puerto Rico, Eastern Canada, and the Bahamas. Founded in 1892, the ILA has a rich history that traces back to the Association of Lumber Handlers established on the Great Lakes in 1877.
Affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, the Canadian Labour Congress, and the International Transport Workers Federation, the ILA is dedicated to advocating for the rights and working conditions of longshoremen. The organization actively addresses challenges faced by its members, including job impacts from automation and promotes solidarity among maritime unions globally.
