John Tyler

ILA Mourns The Passing of John Tyler,
A Member of Local 24, Houston, Texas,
Killed in Accident at Bayport Early Friday Morning

Today, the International Longshoremen’s Association, AFL-CIO mourns the tragic death of John Tyler, 55, a member of ILA Local 24 in Houston, Texas. Brother Tyler was killed on Friday 2/21/2020 at 4:13 am as he was working the container ship, Maersk Detroit at Houston’s Bayport Terminal.
An ILA veteran of 10 years, Brother Tyler was  driving a truck when the container he was hauling was lifted by a crane with his truck still attached. Reports are that the truck crashed back to the ground from approximately 40 feet in the air.

Brother Tyler leaves behind a loving wife and family.  

His Union brothers and sisters are also left with an emptiness in their hearts knowing that we lost a great friend and colleague. 

I am asking for all members and non members to help out if you can. 

Please donate whatever amount you can.  

All proceeds will go to help the family.
