Zack Pattin & Brian Skiffington, Part II
This is Part II of our special two-part episode with Zack Pattin and Brian "Skiff" Skiffington, two longshore workers in Tacoma, WA, members of the ILWU Local 23, and organizing leaders with the ILWU Young Workers Committee. In Part II, we take a deeper dive into the politics and history of the ILWU, and we talk about what being part of the union has meant to Zack and Skiff, their families, and their coworkers.
