The ILA and USMX resume negotiations after a strike leads to a tentative 62% wage increase, with port automation as a key issue.
The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), representing 45,000 dockworkers on the East and Gulf Coasts, will resume negotiations with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) in November. This follows a three-day strike that led to a tentative agreement for a 62% wage increase over six years, raising average wages to $63 an hour. Key issues include port automation, with the union seeking to halt ongoing projects. A new contract must be finalized by January 15, 2025.
