MIAMIThe International Longshoremens Association Local 1416 organized a memorial meeting April 28 for Kevin Whyms, a coworker killed on the job March 30 after a container fell on him. More than 100 workers, family members, and other unionists gathered at the Seamens Center hall at the Port of Miami. Over the last 20 years, an average of 12 workers have been killed annually in the United States while working with marine cargo. Whyms was the third ILA member killed on the job since February 25.
