International Longshoreman's Association (ILA) President Harold Daggett has jumped into the national spotlight as he heads up negotiations for the union in its strike at ports across the U.S. The ILA launched its first strike since 1977 early Tuesday after the union's six-year contract with the USMX , which represents port employers, expired.

In 2017 , The New York Times reported that the Justice Department described the union leader as an associate of the Genovese crime family whose rise through the union ranks was part of the mob's plan.
