ILWU members who attended the Summer Institute for Union Women 2017 marched to protest unfair labor practices at the Ilikai. The Ilikai workers are not unionized, so the ILWU showed up to march to show solidarity with the workers fighting for a fair contract: “An Injury to One is an Injury to All.”

As a member, you are now part of a family over 16,000 members strong. You are part of a long and proud tradition where workers organize to promote fairness and justice on the job. Your membership in the ILWU started when you were hired into your job. At the time you were hired, you signed a form which allows for the automatic payment of union dues by payroll deduction.

Working families are the backbone of our society. Union contracts make sure businesses provide basic medical coverage and other benefits to support working families and their keiki. ILWU families came out in force at the Labor Unity Picnic that happens every year at the Waikiki Shell on Labor Day.
