The ILWU (International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union) Local 37 Labor Union Hall in Pioneer Square was built in 1900. This is where social activists of the Alaska Cannery Workers’ Association once gathered, worked, fought for, and demanded fair conditions for all workers in the Alaskan salmon industry. The work of the Local 37 continues in Seattle at the Fishermen’s Terminal in Magnolia. Two of the loudest voices, those of Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes, were silenced by murder at this site on June 1, 1981.
