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.

ILA members reporting for work on the docks at the Port of Savannah.
Today, the Port of Savannah is the fourth busiest port for container moves in the United States.
None of this could be possible without the International Longshoremen’s Association….who keep cargo moving on a daily basis.
