SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The ILWU’s International Executive Board voted today to
endorse U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders for President.

“Bernie Sanders is the best candidate for America’s working families,” said
ILWU International President Robert McEllrath. “Bernie is best on the
issues that matter most to American workers:  better trade agreements,
support for unions, fair wages, tuition for students and public colleges,
Medicare for all, fighting a corrupt campaign finance system and
confronting the power of Wall Street that’s making life harder for most
Americans.”

Many longshore union members have expressed enthusiastic support for
Sanders at the local level.

The ILWU represents approximately 50,000 women and men who work in
California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii – in addition to ILWU
Divisions representing workers in Canada and Panama.
