ILWU Local 142 is proud to advocate for working families in the state of Hawai’i. ILWU Local 142 has members in a diverse range of industries. Despite the range of jobs our members hold, chances are they will all have the same answer if you ask them why they work so hard: they do it for the sake of their family.

In the ILWU Local 142 ohana, the Harriet Bouslog Labor Scholarship is awarded to the children, relatives, and grandchildren of our hardworking Local 142 members. Harriet Bouslog was Local 142’s first female labor and civil rights attorney (see more on next page). Her scholarship honors the legacy of labor in Hawaii and is given to relatives of ILWU members who are attending any school in the University of Hawaii system.
