Longshoremen reach tentative agreement with ports, shippers, averting a potential strike
==========
U.S. longshoremen reached a tentative six-year contract agreement with the International Longshoremen’s Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance on January 9, 2025, ahead of a January 15 deadline; the agreement protects union jobs and allows for modernization of ports on the East and Gulf coasts; 45,000 longshoremen had previously staged a three-day strike in October 2024, securing a 62% pay increase; the agreement includes provisions for hiring new workers as ports modernize, with full automation off the table; President-elect Donald Trump expressed support for the union, warning against increased automation.
