As the saying goes, “If you don’t ask, you’ll never know.” Here at ILWU Local 142, we want our members to be in the know. As a member of ILWU Local 142, you can rest assured that one of the Division Clerks will answer your call at every Division Office from 8 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday.

Additionally, you can go to the ILWU Local 142 website at www.ilwulocal142.org to see which Business Agent handles your workplace and find their cell number where you can reach them anytime. Each Business Agent is assigned a certain amount of “units” or companies. They regularly visit members on the job at each unit, to ensure the company is honoring the union contract and address any concerns of the membership.

The ILWU is a democratic union, run by the rank-and-file. That means all Titled Officers, Business Agents and representatives are voted in by YOU!
