ILA President Harold J. Daggett 2025 Independence Day Message to ILA Members

NORTH BERGEN, NJ (July 4, 2025) – HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA! To My ILA Members, I wish you and your family a Happy Fourth of July celebration. My fellow ILA Executive Officers join with me in this greeting for Independence Day 2025. Our beloved country is one year shy of celebrating its 250th Anniversary in 2026. Your ILA has long maintained that our initials also stand for “I Love America!”

All ILA members and their families have much to be grateful for as we collectively celebrate Independence Day on Friday, July 4, 2025. The Freedoms we enjoy, the protections of the Constitution and the opportunities for success are all gifts affords all its citizens of our great nation, the United States of America.

As we celebrate our nation’s independence, we remain dedicated to protecting our rights as proud ILA Union members: The right to Organize! The right to Assemble! The right to Strike! These protections gave us the freedom and power for the ILA to achieve the greatest six-year Master Contract Agreement in our history and one that continues to be the gold standard for all unions across America.

May God Bless you and your families; May God continue to Bless the ILA and God Bless America!
