Longshoreman Hall

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 prominent labor organizations including the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations and the International Transport Workers Federation.

With roots tracing back to a longshoremen union founded in 1877, the ILA has a rich history of advocating for the rights and welfare of maritime workers. The union addresses contemporary challenges such as job security in the face of automation while celebrating its members' achievements through various initiatives and events.
