International Longshoreman's Association Local

The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) is the largest union of maritime workers in North America, representing 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 is affiliated with major labor organizations including the AFL-CIO and the International Transport Workers Federation.

With a rich history dating back to the founding of the Association of Lumber Handlers in 1877, the ILA has been instrumental in advocating for workers' rights within the maritime industry. The organization continues to address contemporary challenges such as automation, while celebrating its achievements and fostering solidarity among dockworkers worldwide.
