Article XX and XXI Cases

The IBEW has been involved in two cases under Article XX of the AFL-CIO Constitution, Port of Portland and Port of Vancouver, (ILWU and IBEW Local Union 48) and Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland, (ILWU and IBEW Local Unions 11 and 595, Iron Workers). On the day mediation was scheduled for the case for the Port of Portland, the ILWU announced its disaffiliation with the AFL-CIO, removing itself from under the AFL-CIO constitution. Article XX is therefore no longer an avenue for attempting to resolve this ongoing conflict.

The IBEW is not involved in any disputes arising under Article XXI of the AFL-CIO Constitution.
