ILWU
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), established in 1937, is a prominent labor organization that has shaped labor relations along the West Coast, tracing its roots back to the pivotal waterfront strike of 1934. With a strong emphasis on solidarity, the ILWU advocates for workers' rights and actively engages in organizing efforts, as evidenced by their recent successful contract negotiations for new members at Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics in Tacoma.
The ILWU promotes a culture of solidarity and policy advocacy among its members, focusing on labor issues and training future leaders through initiatives like the LEAD Institute. Through various platforms, including their digital archives and podcasts, the ILWU highlights its history, current struggles, and the impact of automation on the workforce, encouraging active participation in political and social matters affecting labor.
