“The longshoremen and women rely on the port for 100 percent of their jobs,” LaBrant said in a news release. “I’m humbled to have earned their trust. And I’m grateful for their leadership in the fight against dangerous oil trains.”
The news release cites a letter received by the campaign from ILWU officials Cager Clabaugh and Scott Orrell. “It’s time for a serious change at the port, and we believe you are that change,” according to the letter.
