Ila

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 dating back to its origins with the Association of Lumber Handlers on the Great Lakes in 1877.

Affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, the Canadian Labour Congress, and the Worldwide International Transport Workers Federation, the ILA plays a vital role in advocating for the rights and interests of its members. The association is deeply committed to promoting solidarity among dockworkers and advancing labor, civil, and human rights in the maritime industry.
