International Longshoremen's Association suspend ports strike until January
==========
The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) suspended its strike at 14 major US ports, which began on Tuesday, after reaching a tentative wage agreement. The strike, the first in nearly 50 years, halted container traffic from Maine to Texas and involved tens of thousands of dockworkers. Workers will return to work on Friday until January 15, 2024, when further negotiations will occur. The tentative agreement proposes a 62% wage increase over six years, while the union initially sought a 77% increase. US President Joe Biden praised the agreement, emphasizing its importance for the economy and supply availability post-Hurricane Helene.
