    Longshore workers, get all the news: SUBSCRIBE to Union Democracy Review!

    An aggressive grassroots campaign by reformers in the International Longshoremen's Association nearly succeeded in defeating a master contract covering 15,000 East and Gulf Coast longshore workers. The ILA reported that the contract had passed by a margin of 55% to 45% with about 9,000 members voting in the June 8 referendum. But opponents allege serious misconduct and are calling for a revote on what they say is a concessionary agreement.

  • Dockworkers campaign against ILA master agreement

    Demanding a "wage bridge" to end a multi-tier system that leaves many longshore workers earning far less than others who do the same work, a group of members and local officers in the International Longshoremen's Association is calling for rejection of a tentative master contract covering 15,000 workers who load and unload containerized cargo in East Coast and Gulf ports. The contract is scheduled to be voted on by June after local bargaining is completed.
