Union for 45K US dockworkers agree to suspend strike until Jan. 15: source
==========
The union representing 45,000 U.S. dockworkers has agreed to suspend their strike until January 15, 2025, to allow for contract negotiations. Kenneth Riley, international vice president of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), confirmed the strike is over. The agreement aims to negotiate a new six-year contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which includes wage increases and automation protections. The dockworkers are seeking a $5-an-hour raise for each year of the contract, totaling a 77% increase, while the Maritime Alliance offered a 50% raise. The strike, which began on October 1, 2024, affected 36 ports from Maine to Texas and was the first by the ILA since 1977, posing risks to the U.S. economy and supply chains ahead of the elections.
