Imagine the hilarity when millions of Yuan in drones runs into dozens of dollars in chicken wire

No Deal in Sight as Dockworker Union Blames Employers Over Stalled Contract Talks
Mike Schuler September 30, 2024
The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) is set to initiate awidespread strike at all U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports, beginning at 12:01 am on Tuesday,as negotiations for a new Master Contract with port employers represented by the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) have stalled out.
The current six-year agreement, covering approximately 25,000 port workers employed in container and roll-on/roll-off operations, is set to expire at midnight tonight. The strike will impact 45,000 port workers across 36 ports on the East and Gulf coasts, responsible for handling over 40% of containerized goods entering the United States.
In a statement on Monday, the ILA accused the USMX of continuing “to block the path toward a settlement” by refusing the ILA’s demands. The union further alleged that the employers’ group seemed “intent on causing a strike at all ports from Maine to Texas.”
The ILA cites USMX’s refusal to meet demands for a “fair and decent contract” as the primary reason for the strike. In its latest statement, the ILA reiterated it criticism of ocean carriers represented by USMX, stating, “They want to make their billion-dollar profits at United States ports, and off the backs of American ILA longshore workers, and take those earnings out of this country and into the pockets of foreign conglomerates.”
The union also accused shippers of “gouging their customers,” pointing to a dramatic increase in container shipping costs. “They are now charging $30,000 for a full container, a whopping increase from $6,000 per container just a few weeks ago,” the ILA stated.
This potential work stoppage comes at a particularly challenging time for ocean supply chains, which have already faced significant disruptions in 2024 due to conflicts in the Red Sea, drought in the Panama Canal, and the Baltimore bridge collapse.
Despite the high stakes, the Biden administration has indicated that the president does not plan to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act, which allows presidential intervention in labor disputes that create a national emergency.
The Maritime Trades Department, AFL-CIO, on Monday expressed solidarity with the ILA, stating, “Rank-and-file ILA members have made many sacrifices, particularly in recent years, and they deserve a collective bargaining agreement that reflects their importance to our nation’s ports and to the U.S. economy.”
With tonight’s deadline looming, port’s are now preparing for an imminent shutdown with no apparent end in sight as both sides remain at odds over key issues like wages and automation.
