This article presents the author's views on the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union (I. L. W. U. ) which negotiated its first industry-wide welfare plan its goal was complete health care for members and their families. Steady progress toward this end has been made. Ever since the union and the employers' Pacific Maritime Association established a joint welfare fund in 1949, welfare has been a basic issue in I. L. W. U. collective bargaining. Welfare programs, in the main administered by joint union-employer boards of trustees, cover the I. L. W. U longshoremen and warehousemen on the West Coast, the Alaska dock workers, the Hawaii longshore, sugar, and pineapple workers, and members of some of the small locals in other industries.
