The International Warehouse Logistics Association (IWLA) legislative agenda is based on the principles of good jobs, fair working conditions and safe/secure supply chains performed through the third-party warehouse-based logistics industry.
Companies that use IWLA members’ services recognize the need for a well-designed supply chain operating at the highest level of efficiency in today’s domestic and global markets. They recognize the advantage of our members’ unique logistics expertise and technology in securing maximum efficiencies in sourcing raw materials, designing supply chains, and managing distribution systems. IWLA members perform a wide variety of services that reach beyond storage, including distribution system design, freight transportation, packaging, assembly and even performing light manufacturing.
Warehouse-based 3PLs are active partners with their customers in finding the most efficient, effective, secure and safe means of moving everything from raw materials to finished goods.
The IWLA Government Affairs agenda describes our members’ five top policy areas. These areas will help ensure that the United States continues to enjoy the most efficient supply chain in the world, all while increasing the number of jobs we provide and securing the career paths of our workers.
This agenda is a high-level overview of IWLA’s government affairs priorities. As such, it should not be viewed as a comprehensive list of all of the issues IWLA members are concerned with and participate in. In addition, this document is an evolving blueprint that will change when appropriate.
