Local 21 Retirees

Within the heart of ILWU Local 21, we acknowledge and appreciate the retirees who have contributed significantly to our union. These individuals, who dedicated their years to a demanding industry, have played a vital role in shaping our union and granting us the privileges we enjoy today. Their commitment to our history is appreciated, and we are grateful for their contributions.

It's important to highlight that many of these retirees, during their active years as members of Local 21, served as the Longshoremen who trained the current generation. They shared their expertise, imparting hands-on training on the safe and efficient operation of the cranes and machinery central to our cargo operations. Their guidance has played a pivotal role in shaping Local 21 into a skilled and efficient workforce.

Moreover, retirees who choose to remain involved with Local 21 contribute in various roles, including overseeing our election and voting process. Their continued participation underscores their commitment to the union and its processes. Their wisdom and experience remain an asset, a testament to our union's sense of continuity and shared purpose. This page serves as a tribute to their contributions and an expression of our appreciation for their service.
