Harold Daggett is an American labor union leader. Since 2011, he has been president of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA). In 2024, he was a lead figure in launching a strike by longshoremen at ports on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States.
On June 23, 2025, Daggett signed an official ILA letter praising Trump and commending his decision to bomb three of Iran's nuclear facilities. The letter has been described as "unprecedented" given how unusual it is for a labor union to endorse offensive military action. Trump shared the letter on his Truth Social account.
