ILWU Local 52 Gabriel Prawl On Firings In Seattle, Growing Anger & West Coast Work Action

The firing of longshore workers who were working under proper health and safety condition led to their firing by bosses in Seattle. The growing anger as well of the refusal of the PMA to provide needed wage increases and the introduction of technology that will lead to mass layoffs has led to a coast wide walkout of ILWU longshore workers. The ILWU members have been working without a contract since last July 2022 when the contact expired. This is the longest period without a contract inn tthe history of the union. Gabriel Prawl, past president of ILWU Local 52 and president of the A. Philip Randolph chapter in Seattle talks about the conditions of longshore workers and the growing strike wave in the United States.
