On Saturday, April 25, I will be holding a community town hall in Lānaʻi at ILWU Local 142. My team and I will be on site offering assistance with federal issues, discussing policies affecting Hawaiʻi, and answering questions from community members.

ILWU 6 Bio-Rad Workers Fighting for a Living Wage Are Asking: Where is Norm?

Paul Robeson was born on this day in 1898, the son of a man who freed himself from slavery. He also was deeply committed to unions that were antiracist and anti-imperialist. He even was an honorary member of the @ilwu.bsky.social and friends with Harry Bridges! www.aaihs.org/paul-robeson...

Officials gathered at the nation’s No. 1 port with Asm. MikeGipson today to highlight a state budget request for a proposed $1 billion allocation to support infrastructure, modernization and port jobs.

Thank you, International Longshoremen's Association, for the message of solidarity as we fight to protect area standard wages and benefits in Coos Bay.

Thank you @laborcaucus.house.gov for supporting ILWU Local 12 workers in their fight to preserve area wage & benefit standards. Good jobs build strong communities. Undermining these conditions w/substandard wages & benefits only leads to a race to the bottom. We know we can count on your support.

Solidarity with ILWU dockers on the picket line in Coos Bay Oregon as they take a stand against the union busting of Oregon Pellet Mill. Oregon Pellet Mill is refusing to employ union workers or pay adequate wages. Our message is simple - respect the jurisdiction of the ILWU!

150 workers at a vehicle processing center in Tacoma, WA, won their first contract last year, a huge step for the International Longshore and Warehouse Union organizing down the supply chain, writes Zack Pattin, longshoreman and rep with ILWU Local 23 labornotes.org/2026/01/orga...

Day THIRTY-NINE of our national ULP strike - and baristas are fired up, united, and taking action. Our demands are clear: Starbucks needs to stop union busting and finalize a contract with the pay, hours, and protections we need to succeed. #NoContractNoCoffee

JWJ is thrilled to see two of our members (ILWU Local 5 + Unite Oregon) come together through the formation of the Unite Oregon Workers Union! Congratulations on voluntary recognition! We are also thrilled to see another group of nonprofit workers go union! ✊ #UnionsforAll

On December 12, the ILWU International Executive Board unanimously approved the Statement of Policy: The ILWU Versis Facsim.

Great to sit down with ILWU Local 46, as well as Port of Hueneme and Oxnard district officials to talk about supporting our ports, longshoremen, and local economy. Investing in our ports is essential for the small businesses and communities that rely on them.

Much thanks to ILWU for standing in solidarity with federal employees across the nation!

Honored to join the ILWU Pensioners Labor Day Celebration in Hilo & recognize the incredible history & strength of Local 142. Mahalo for never backing down in the fight for job safety, health care and pensions for all workers. Always happy to help judge the Dress To Impress & Dessert Contests! 🍰

Huge turnout of community members, families, and educator unions to support Preschool for ALL! The county commissioners heard testimony about how this program has lifted up parents, families, and educators. Thanks to ~50 people who asked the commissioners to vote NO on cuts to Preschool for All!💛

Highlights: Cassandra, who works at Wild Lilac, a Preschool for All Pilot site, reads part of a statement she helped draft as part of their teachers union, @ilwulocal5.bsky.social, "if P4A is paused or eliminated, it will have a catastrophic effect on students, families, and teachers."
