Auxiliary - ILWU Local 21

Auxiliary 14

Auxiliary 14 stands as a cornerstone of the ILWU Local 21 family, creating a bridge that connects our members with their spouses. Comprised of these dedicated spouses of both past and present members, Auxiliary 14 plays an indispensable role in fostering camaraderie, support, and community within our local.

With a heartwarming blend of creativity and purpose, Auxiliary 14 orchestrates an array of fundraisers and engaging events that reverberate throughout our membership. The delicate touch of their Valentine's flower bouquets serves as a reminder of love and solidarity, extending beyond the workplace into the homes of our members.

Moreover, the careful planning of food at ceremonies to honor our departed longshore members reflects their dedication to preserving the memory and legacy of those who have shaped our union. The annual Thanksgiving potluck lunch, a cherished tradition, fills our gatherings with a spirit of gratitude and togetherness.

However, Auxiliary 14's impact is not limited to our membership alone. Their dedication reaches beyond, as they channel their efforts into fundraising for Local 21 initiatives and events, alongside their commitment to local charities. This dual purpose underscores their belief in service, echoing the values that define ILWU Local 21.

Through their actions, Auxiliary 14 transcends the role of a support group, becoming a testament to the collective power of compassion and collaboration. Their work reaffirms that our union extends beyond the docks, intertwining the fabric of our membership with a sense of belonging, generosity, and care.
