My Interests

I'd like to meet:

As many members, from brother and sister locals, from as far as the containers and ships shall reach.

The goal of this myspace page is to bring together as many members as possible to discuss the issues that affect our occupation the most. Local 10 would like to welcome both new and old members into a cyber community, to build relationships between members and friends; to find resolutions to industry issues, and bring solidarity to our personal space.

Please feel free to leave us comments, ask questions, and discuss issues reguarding our workplace, contracts, and social climate.

On behalf of Local 10, we welcome you to our myspace home with the hope that your visit will bring you closer to learning our past and creating a stronger future for the ILWU.
