ILWU Leadership Education & Development Institute |
DATE: June 2, 2022 |
On behalf of the ILWU Titled Officers, I am pleased to announce that the next ILWU Leadership Education and Development Institute (LEAD VIII) will be held in Sacramento, California September 18-23, 2022. Interested members should complete our application form, which is available on the ILWU web site: www.ilwu.org/education.
The theme of this year’s conference is Today’s Challenge: Build Tomorrow’s Leaders. Among the topics we will cover are: increasing membership participation, the ILWU’s core principles, communication—both within the local and to the general public—and parliamentary procedure and protocols for orderly union meetings. Instructors will be drawn from the ranks of active and retired members, staff from the International, university labor centers, and labor activists.
Local unions or affiliates may nominate participants, who are each required to fill out the LEAD application form. Priority consideration will be given to new officers and rank and file activists who have not participated in any previous LEAD programs. For reasons of space and diversity, we anticipate having to limit each affiliate to two participants, but we will create a waiting list in case of cancellations or non- participation by any locals.
The LEAD budget will cover participants’ housing, breakfast and lunch, training materials, facilities, and instructors. Participants will be housed together in double rooms, but may upgrade to a single room at their own expense. Any reimbursement for expenses such as lost wages or travel will have to be covered by the participant, his or her local or affiliate, or by area fundraising activities. The International will not pay lost wages. In cases where financial hardship is an obstacle to participation, a request for assistance should be submitted to the International along with a written statement about the circumstances involved and the amount of assistance requested.

ILWU Stands in Solidarity with Rail Unions and their 115,000 Members
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (July 19, 2022) – Today, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union
(ILWU) Coast Longshore Division announced that it stands in solidarity with the Rail Unions and 115,000 workers they represent as they continue to work for a fair contract that reflects the vital work they do nationwide.
“American families needed medical supplies, home office equipment, groceries and other supplies during the pandemic, and railroad workers made those deliveries possible,” said Willie Adams, ILWU International President. “They heroically stayed on the job without a contract or a raise, and it is beyond time for the private railroad companies to reach a fair agreement with the rail workers who delivered the goods – and the profits. The ILWU supports the rail workers’ right to bring home a decent wage and benefits to their families and calls on the employers to reach a fair agreement without further delay.”
Railroad workers, who move everything from Amazon packages to fuel and agricultural products from ports and across the nation, have been working without a contract for more than two years and have not received a raise since 2019. According to the Rail Unions, the National Carriers Conference Committee (NCCC), which represents railroad employers in negotiations, has refused to offer a comprehensive settlement proposal. Instead, the NCCC has chosen to present proposals that are insults to the hardworking union members who have worked to keep our supply chain moving throughout the pandemic.
“By refusing to treat their workers with respect and meet their reasonable demands for the past two years, the private rail carriers have shown they care more about profits than about American families, businesses, consumers, and our national economy,” said Bobby Olvera, Jr., ILWU International Vice President (Mainland). “At a time when workers are leaving their jobs in droves, the private rail employers owe it to our nation to keep our supply chain moving by making sure that rail jobs remain worth showing up to.”
