The International Longshoremen’s Association is the largest union of maritime workers in North America. Representing over 85,000 longshoremen across various regions, including the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, Great Lakes, major U.S. rivers, Puerto Rico, Eastern Canada, and the Bahamas, it holds a significant presence in the maritime industry.
Established in 1892, the ILA has a rich history rooted in the organization of longshoremen, with origins dating back to the Association of Lumber Handlers in 1877. The union aims to protect the rights and interests of its members, advocating for fair labor practices and working conditions within the maritime sector.
One notable aspect of the ILA is its focus on issues such as tracking damages caused by mishandling of containers, ensuring that members' jobs are safeguarded. Through various initiatives, the ILA continues to play a pivotal role in supporting and representing the maritime workforce in North America.
