Impending worker strike not expected to impact Mississippi port
SUMMARY: Union dock workers are preparing for a significant strike affecting East Coast and Gulf of Mexico ports due to stalled negotiations over wage increases. The International Longshoremen’s Association is demanding a 77% pay hike over six years, while the United States Maritime Alliance has offered a 40% raise. The Port of Pascagoula in Mississippi, however, reports that operations will continue unaffected thanks to a mix of union and non-union labor. Without intervention from the Biden administration, the potential strike could disrupt the economy, impacting supply chains for essential goods like fresh fruit and coffee, as retailers brace for delays.

SUMMARY: De’Anthony Smith, a 27-year-old convicted felon from Vicksburg, has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for armed robbery at a Dollar General store in Florence. Following his guilty plea to armed robbery, conspiracy, and possession of a firearm by a felon, Smith was sentenced by Judge Steve Ratcliff to 45 years for the robbery, 10 years for firearm possession, and 5 years for conspiracy. In September 2023, he threatened a store clerk and customer with a firearm, stole cash, and was later arrested after police identified his vehicle.
