Moving cargo and supporting our communities since the 1930’s
Shipping has changed since 1934, but one thing has not: our commitment to making sure West Coast ports have good-paying jobs with benefits that support families and communities. We believe in a country where everyone who works hard can see the doctor, give their kids a good start, and have a secure retirement. The middle class is losing ground, but it does not need to be this way. We work to keep good jobs for the future of our port communities, and we hope you will take a moment to learn more about us.
“From the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken extraordinary measures to ensure the West Coast supply chain continues to operate safely and smoothly in support of the nation’s pandemic response and recovery. In this effort to ensure store shelves remain stocked and exports continue to flow to overseas markets, no one has done more than the men and women of the ILWU who have continued to work through the pandemic, risking their lives to keep West Coast ports open.”
