The union representing 45,000 striking U.S. dockworkers at East and Gulf coast ports has reached a deal to suspend their strike until Jan. 15 to provide time to negotiate a new contract, a person briefed on the matter says.

The union, the International Longshoremen’s Association, is to resume working immediately at least until January said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement has yet to be signed.

The agreement will allow the union and the U.S Maritime Alliance, which represents the shippers and ports, time to negotiate a new six-year contract. The person also said both sides reached agreement on wage increases, but details weren’t available.

Harris was quick to publicly voice support for the dockworkers, and their strike got the negotiations rolling again in only a couple days. This seems to be more than just escaping bad publicity, to me, it looks like decidedly good publicity. Especially when you contrast it with trump praising musk for firing workers trying to organize and saying he scammed his own employees out of overtime pay.

Except if consumer prices started rising, guess who would get the blame?

[–] elliot_crane 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sure, but the chances of that happening should be slim now.

Agreed. I'm talking about if the strike hadn't been suspended.
