This education link has been set up to keep all ILA members informed of what’s taking place in our industry; past and present. This site will include articles, stories, photographs and videos. At times, some of the videos will include training and be educational. Other times, we will take a look into our past and learn more and more about the history of this union and how it was built into what it is today.

PORT HOUSTON MEDIA PAGES SENT US THIS MESSAGE
From Monday, July 27, 2027:
Today is officially Longshoremen’s Day in Texas. The International Longshoremen’s Association provides the labor force that helps move cargo across our docks.
From crane operators to the crews discharging vessels, and more, ILA members are a major part of Port Houston’s daily operations. We value our strong partnership and thank the members for the hard work and dedication that keep the port running.

Chicago is a tough nut with it being a Great Lakes Port being fed by the St.Lawrence seaway but if you ever see all the intermodal activity in that area you would think a mega port was there.
A great leader speaking here . Thanks for all you do Jim . For all of North America.
Go Union
