Longshoreman / Dockers





This was written by an American Longshoreman / Docker. This applies to all Dockers worldwide.


To those of u that do not know what myself & my ILA brothers do.... We r called Longshoreman, we r workers who r trained on million dollar pieces of equipment to load and unload cargo from ships. We r workers who r also known generally as dockworkers. Longshoremen are an integral part of the shipping and receiving industry, working long hours in all weather conditions to move cargo containers. The workers with the most seniority are rewarded for this COMMITMENT through high & WELL DESERVED pay, an extensive benefits package, and a flexible schedule. Longshoremen are nearly always employed as part of a labor union, and gaining membership in this union is the crucial step in order to become a Longshoreman.
To sum this up, mostly everything u have in ur home... electronics,furniture,food,ur cars r shipped into the port of NY&NJ & unloaded by us.
Corporate greedy s!@#bags r trying to destroy our way of life by making unnecessary cuts to our salaries & hours to fill their bellies with more $$$$ & taking $$$$ out of our pockets. FYI u can google some shipping companies to c the billions of $$$ in PROFITS THEY HAVE MADE OFF OF OUR BLOOD & SWEAT..... Some of our brothers r no longer with us due to the fact of the DANGEROUS conditions we all work in.
Now u all know what we do & what we r fighting for.......
I can tell u this we will do what ever our Union agrees to....
But I can tell u this Our President Harold Daggett is a force to b reckoned with & we r all behind him 10000000 %.....
We will not go down without a fight !!!!!
STAY STRONG AMERICA !!!!!! WORK UNION !!!!!!!
ILA ALL THE WAY !!!!!!!!!
Come Onnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!
