Dockworkers strike suspended until January as tentative agreement reached
SUMMARY: A historic port strike has been suspended following a tentative agreement between the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, granting port workers a 62% wage increase over six years. The agreement causes all current job actions to cease and operations to resume immediately. The strike began when contract negotiations failed, marking the first significant strike since 1977. While the deal resolves immediate wage issues, automation concerns remain a priority for further negotiations, set to continue until January 15, 2025. The economic impact of the ports, particularly in Gulfport and Pascagoula, is substantial.
