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.

Never forget the sacrifices ILA members made to build our great union into what it is today

ILA LOCAL 1235 MEMBERS GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AT THEIR ANNUAL CHRISTMAS DRIVE THAT SPONSORED 780 CHILDREN
A message from ILA Local 1235 President Brandon Garcia:
Local 1235 members,
“Today, we dropped off the gifts for our annual Christmas drive. Every year we commit to more than the last….this year the membership of Local 1235 exceeded my expectations. Not only did this local donate to every child in one school, we then took the responsibility to sponsor a new school and their kindergarten classes.
The total amount of children that were sponsored this year was 780!
Just know, everyone that participated, you’re all making a difference.
The joy on the kids faces were second to none. Please enjoy the photos that were taken….those smiles are because of each and everyone of you! Thank you and I couldn’t be prouder of this Local!
Thank you for allowing me to serve this amazing membership. Have a Merry Christmas!”
Brandon Garcia

THE PORT OF BALTIMORE GIVES A SHOUT OUT TO THE ILA AS IT IS RECOGNIZED AS A TOP PORT IN THE UNITED STATES FOR MOVING AUTOMOBILES AND TRUCKS
From the Port of Baltimore shared to us:
“There is no better port in the nation better equipped to handle cars and light trucks than the Port of Baltimore!
Baltimore is the closest East Coast port to the Midwest, has four on-dock auto processors, is located within a mile of Interstate 95 “the East Coast main street”, utilizes a unique quality program unmatched by other ports, and has a highly skilled labor force….the men and women of the ILA!
Nearly every automaker in the world brings their vehicles through Baltimore….and you can see why…The International Longshoremen’s Association”
Thank you to the Port of Baltimore for sharing this story

ILA GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON
The Keith Clark “Make a Kid Smile for Christmas Bike Drive”
The Hampton Roads District Council, Local 970, Local 1248, Local 1624, Local 1963, and Local 1970 partnered with Hampton Roads Shipping Association and the Port of Virginia to donate nearly 200 bikes and helmets to kids at 5 local schools.
This amazing event was started by ILA retiree Keith Clark in 2012, and it continues to grow every year.
Many of the kids shed tears of joy and expressed their utmost gratitude after receiving a new bicycle. We are so thankful for the opportunity to be able to give back to the community that we serve, especially to those in need during this holiday season.
Thank you ILA Local 970 President Jonathan Coley for sharing this story.

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP POSTS DENNIS A. DAGGETT’S LETTER THAT WAS RECENTLY WRITTEN TO THE ILA MEMBERSHIP
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POSTS ON HIS TRUTH SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE REACH OVER 90 MILLION FOLLOWERS AROUND THE WORLD
Please read ILA International Executive Vice President Dennis A. Daggett’s response below:
“I am truly humbled and deeply honored to see President Trump take the time to read and share my words about the hardworking men and women of the ILA and the unwavering support he has given to our membership. It’s a moment I’ll never forget, and I am beyond grateful for the recognition he’s given not just to me, but to every single member of the ILA.
I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to the members of the International Longshoremen’s Association. Representing you and your families is the greatest privilege of my life. Your hard work, sacrifices, and dedication to keeping America’s commerce moving inspire me every day.
Thank you, Mr. President, for acknowledging the ILA and its proud history, and thank you to the members of the ILA for allowing me the honor of representing you and your Families.”

Right. This grifting union busting corporate elitists is the answer. Dennis. I believe you're becoming a polyp in Trump's rectal cavity. Don't hold your breath
I have never been this hopeful in our leadership.
Love this !!!
So awesome
God Bless American Union Workers. Thank you President Trump.
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔴🔴🔴
I’m impressed. But the proof is in the pudding, let’s see who Trump appoints to the NLRB, FLRA and other labor agencies. Maybe he has turned a new leaf, and maybe he is still the old Republican stooge of business interests.
Snow job
