Over 200 ILA members and officers rallied in front of Global Terminal for good union jobs on January 6th.

Fri, 01/06/2012 - 12:00pm - 12:50pm

Join ILA International and District
officers on your break for a lunchtime
informational rally to expand good
paying port jobs.

Terminal management wants to
implement new technology that will

port. The ILA must stand up now for
our future.
