Port Miami
ILA Local 1416 member Stephen A. Wingard works around the clock lashing containers on a vessel at Port Miami.
Wingard has been a member of the ILA for over 23 years and through training and education is certified to operate all
equipment that is used on the waterfront.
Brother Wingard shared his thoughts with us:
“Sometimes doing this work takes a major toll on my body and I have to sacrifice time away from my family. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. That CEO who didn’t want to give the ILA a raise but wrote himself a 4 BILLION DOLLAR BONUS CHECK IS SOMETHING I STILL CANT BELIEVE!”
Thank you Brother Stephen Wingard

ILA WORKS TOGETHER TO SET NEW RECORD FOR GATE MOVES AT THE PORT OF NY/NJ
ILA LOCALS AT MAHER TERMINALS IN PORT ELIZABETH, NJ WORK TOGETHER TO SET A NEW RECORD FOR GATES MOVES IN A SINGLE DAY
On Tuesday, October 15, 2024, the International Longshoremen’s Association at Maher Terminals in Port Elizabeth, NJ set a new standard of excellence as they recorded 9,934 gate moves in a single day.
The previous record was set just one week earlier as 9,144 gate moves were recorded on October 8, 2024.
This incredible accomplishment was a combined effort of ILA Locals 1, 1233, 1235 and 1804-1 all working the truck line to make history!
Shout out to the truck drivers who pick up and drop off the containers at the terminal each and every day!

ILA Locals 1804-1, 1, 1233, 1235, 920, 824, 1814 and 1588 donated cases of water, paper towels, generators, heaters, clothes, diapers, extension cords, baby food, canned goods, garbage bags, flashlights, batteries and so much more to those who were devastated by Hurricane Helena which hit North Carolina in late September 2024.
The work of filling the containers was done entirely by ILA members and will be transported down to North Carolina on Thursday, October 17, 2024.
