About Herb Mills and ILWU 10
|
Herb Mills began to longshore in 1963. He retired in 1991 as a result of an on-the-job accident. Since he often served San Francisco’s Local 10 of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union as an elected officer, he frequently had a front-line role in the great many struggles occasioned by the ever-unfolding and still unfolding "container revolution."
After several officer terms, he began to publish the articles which can here be downloaded in pdf format. He also now appears in a permanent exhibit at the Smithsonian Institute. That exhibit focuses on American transportation from c. 1875. It may also be found on the internet:Smithsonian, National Museum of American History, America on the Move.
