International Longshore and Warehouse Union

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) is a labor union which primarily represents dock workers won the West Coast of the United States, Hawai'i and Alaska; it also represents hotel workers in Hawai'i, cannery workers in Alaska and warehouse workers throughout the West. The union was established through the 1934 West Coast longshore strike, a three month-long strike that culminated in a four day general strike in San Francisco and the Bay Area.
