ILWU Coast Longshore Division

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.
