Established in 1892 and affiliated with significant labor organizations, the ILA has a rich history that dates back to its origins with the Association of Lumber Handlers in 1877.

Dedicated to advocating for the rights and livelihoods of its members, the ILA actively addresses issues such as job security amidst automation and upholds regulations concerning the handling of damaged cargo. Through various initiatives and events, including a commitment to global solidarity among maritime workers, the ILA plays a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity and strength of the maritime labor community.
