Biographical / Historical
The International Longshoremen's Association originated in 1892 as the National Longshoremen of the U.S. The International Longshoremen's Association name was adopted in 1895 with the affiliation of Canadian locals. In 1896, the American Federation of Labor provided the ILA with a charter. In 1953, the AFL suspended the ILA due to charges of corruption and labor racketeering. Within three days of the suspension, the AFL issued a charter covering the old ILA jurisdiction to the International Brotherhood of Longshoremen. The International Brotherhood of Longshoremen and International Longshoremen's Association co-existed with each other until 1959, when the IBL merged with the ILA, which in turn re-affiliated with the AFL-CIO.
