ILA Local 1422

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 has a rich history rooted in the organization of longshoremen since before the formation of the United States, with its origins tracing back to the Association of Lumber Handlers in the Great Lakes.

Affiliated with prominent labor organizations such as the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) and the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF), the ILA advocates for the rights and interests of its members while addressing contemporary issues such as job security and automation in the maritime industry. Through solidarity and collective action, the ILA strives to improve the working conditions and livelihoods of longshoremen and their families.
