International Longshoremen's Association Local 1588

In 1970 NYSA and the ILA adopted a Joint Maritime Safety Code (pdf) that has been incorporated into the Portwide General Cargo Agreement (pdf) since at least 1986. Subsequent agreements have called for a joint NYSA-ILA committee to update the Code but this has yet to be done.

The Portwide Agreement(pdf) between the New York Shipping Association and the ILA addresses many issues and working conditions not covered in the ILA-USMX Master Contract (pdf)

Included in the Portwide Agreement (pdf) are several appendices and other documents like NYSA-ILA Joint Maritime Safety Code (pdf) that affect the working conditions of Longshoremen in the Port of New York and New Jersey.

New: Portwide Agreement available as a booklet from the Local

These include (all in pdf format):

• ILA-USMX Master Contract Appendix A
• Wage Scale Appendix B
