As this Labor Day weekend approaches, let us acknowledge the sacrifices and struggles ILA members have made.
Let us remember all the blood, sweat and tears that have been shed. Let us honor and salute all of those that have came before us to build a union that is known throughout the world!
As our amazing leadership continues to fight for the 85,000 members of this incredible union during contract negotiations, let us not forgot the back breaking labor ILA members have had to endure for over 132 years to get us where we are today.
**WE ARE THE ILA**
