“I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our entire membership for your incredible support and unwavering solidarity. Together, we’re standing up to USMX and the shipping lines, who are pushing automation and new technology that threaten our jobs and the livelihoods of working people.
We believe firmly that machines should not replace hard-working men and women who have dedicated their lives to this industry. Our union is built on the strength of its members, and I am proud to stand with each of you in this fight.
Thank you for standing strong with me, Dennis, and the entire international officers. Together, we’ll continue to protect our jobs and ensure the best contract for the ILA.”
