Local 10 President Richard Mead with a crew of ILWU volunteers cleaning up West Oakland
Now that the electoral victory in Oakland, CA has been won, the hard work for ILWU members is just beginning. Bay Area ILWU members continue to do their part working with the administration of Mayor Jean Quan to make Oakland a better place. ILWU members volunteered to help clean up the community of West Oakland and also turned out to a town hall meeting with Mayor Quan to lend their voice to help solve a range of issues from education, economic development, job creation, community safety, environmental concerns and issues around the Port of Oakland.
