Dockworkers On Strike At Ports Across US
==========
Around 45,000 dockworkers went on indefinite strike at US East Coast and Gulf Coast ports on 10/1/2024 after the United States Maritime Alliance and the International Longshoremen's Association failed to reach a settlement on a new Master Contract. The ILA rejected a wage package offered by Ocean Carriers, represented by USMX, which included a nearly 50% wage increase and enhanced retirement contributions. The strike affects 36 ports, handling nearly half of the nation's ocean imports, impacting goods availability. The union will continue to handle military cargo and ensure passenger ships are unaffected.
