Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Philip Martin Lelli (1929-2004) was a longshoreman, union activist, local philanthropist, and past president of the ILWU Local 23, in Tacoma, Washington.

Born in Tacoma on December 4, 1929, Lelli was raised in the Edgewood Area. His parents, Martin (nicknamed "Barney") and Mary Ballard, ran Lelli's Grocery. He attended Edgemont School (now Edgewood), Fife High School (graduating in 1947), and Pacific Lutheran University. In 1953 he married B. Joann Williams and had 5 sons.

Lelli joined the Tacoma area longshoremen union in September 1956 after spending a few years in the construction industry in various parts of Washington and Alaska. In 1961 he took his first gear locker job at Rothschild Stevedoring, later known at Jones Washington Stevedoring Company, with T. A. "Tiny" Thronson in the Tacoma shop. Lelli was elected president of the ILWU Local 23, a position which he held for 17 inconsecutive years, from 1966-1969, 1971-1975, and 1977-1986. According to one biographical document, he attended his first ILWU Longshore, Shipclerk, and Walking Boss Caucus in 1966. Lelli served on various ILWU committees, including the Coast Negotiating Committee (elected in 1989), and was appointed to the Pacific Coast Safety Committee as a representative of the Washington area. He also served as an ILWU delegate to New Zealand and Australia in 1983.

Lelli's other activities included serving on the Washington State Advisory Council on International Trade and Development from 1983-1985 and serving as an appointed Port of Tacoma commissioner beginning in 1992. He also was a member of the Tacoma Propeller Club and served as president in 1977, the first member from labor to ever hold that office in the national club history.

4.49 cubic feet (4 boxes)

Scope and Content: Records relating to Phil Lelli’s activities as an activist and officer in Local 23 of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union in Tacoma, a Commissioner of the Port of Tacoma, and related to the labor history of the Tacoma waterfront. Included are strategy and planning documents for port development, writings and speeches on waterfront mechanization, and materials on longshore collective bargaining from the 1950s until the 1980s.

Lelli’s community activities are represented by materials related to his activity in the Propeller Club, and in founding and supporting Hospitality Kitchen in Tacoma. Correspondence files include extensive materials from Shawn Maloney, a long-time union activist and others involved in preserving labor history. Photographs include documentation of Lelli’s union and community activities, as well as travel to Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and the south Pacific.

Restrictions on Access: No restrictions on access.

Restrictions on Use: To the extent that they own the copyright, the donor has transferred the copyright of the materials to the University of Washington; however, copyright in some items in this collection may be held by their respective creators. Users are responsible for researching copyright status before use.

Acquisition Info: This accession is a merger of two sources, both with a provenance of Phil Lelli: Part of the materials were directly donated by Lelli's son, Vance Lelli, circa 2018, and additional items were obtained from the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies in 2023. Although the precise original donation date of the materials to the Bridges Center remains undetermined, it is probable that these materials originated from historian Ron Magden or from the Lelli family, and were created or collected by Phil Lelli.
