On June 18th, over 40 ILWU members, pensioners, and supporters gathered at the Ballantyne memorial at New Brighton Park in Vancouver, BC to commemorate the 84th anniversary of the Battle of Ballantyne Pier and remember the militant history of Vancouver waterfront workers.

Recognizing the First Nations 
Joulene Parent from Local 500 opened the event by acknowledging that the event was held on the unceded land of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples.

The top executive officers of ILWU Local 142 are the President, the Vice President, and the Secretary-Treasurer.

In addition to their individual duties, the officers work collectively as a three-person team called the “Titled Officers.” Together they direct and coordinate the work of the union and all other officers. They work out of the Honolulu Office.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hawaii could not function without the work on and near the waterfront. Our brothers and sisters in the Longshore Division have a history in the ILWU defined by exemplary moments of strikes and solidarity.

Hawaii Division’s main union hall is in Hilo at 100 West Lanikaula Street. There is also a smaller Kona office at 74-5565 Luhia Street Kaiwi Square.

Elmer Gorospe, Jennifer Yadao and George Martin work out of the Hilo office and can usually be reached there at 808-935-3727. Michael Dela Cruz, Roselyn Molina, and Tristie Licoan work out of the Kona office and can be reached at 808-329-2070.

Maui Division, which includes the islands of Molokai and Lanai, holds the largest membership with over 7,000 of our 18,000 members.

A large portion of Maui’s membership used to come from sugar. Sugar did not last as a viable industry for Hawaii’s economy, and the state’s last sugar plantation, Maui’s Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (HC&S), closed in 2016.

Oahu Division is located at 451 Atkinson Drive in Honolulu. Oahu is the second largest division of the ILWU Local 142 with close to 5,000 members. Over half of Oahu’s members work in the general trades industrial grouping, with Foodland Super Market being the largest employer.
