ILWU IN SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE WILL NOT HANDLE RUSSIAN CARGO AT U.S. WEST COAST PORTS

Union representing 20,000 workers at all 29 U.S. West Coast ports announces that dockworkers will not touch Russian vessels or cargo until further notice

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (March 3, 2022) – Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine is an act of aggression that endangers a population of more than 40 million people, including millions of innocent men, women, and children. Accordingly, effective immediately, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), some 20,000 workers strong in 29 ports up and down the United States West Coast, will refuse to load or unload any Russian vessels or Russian cargo coming into or going out of all West Coast ports from Bellingham, Washington to San Diego, California.

“With this action in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, we send a strong message that we unequivocally condemn the Russian invasion,” said ILWU International President Willie Adams.

“West Coast dockworkers are proud to do our part to join with those around the world who are bravely taking a stand and making sacrifices for the good of Ukraine.”
