Mark Bass, ILA Local 1410 President in Mobile, AL, and a LWC member, was quoted in a recent Labor Notes article on harassment on the job:

“Mark Bass, president of a Longshoremen’s local in Mobile, Alabama, said foremen are rushing dock workers and blackballing those who don’t speed up. “It has not always been this way,” Bass added. “We had a large group of longshoremen retire who knew the longshoreman industry and had the union at heart. Now with the newcomers that don’t know the history and the story that goes from one to the other, we are faced with the challenge of educating our people.”"
