As the Russia invasion of Ukraine shows no sign of letting up, longshore workers on Thursday, March 3, said they would refuse to load or unload any Russian vessel or handle any incoming or outgoing Russia cargo.

The announcement by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union covers some 20,000 workers at all 29 U.S West Coast ports.

“With this action in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, we send a strong message that we unequivocally condemn the Russian invasion,” said ILWU International President Willie Adams.
