Port strike ends as workers agree to tentative deal on wages and contract extension
Port strike ends as workers agree to tentative deal on wages and contract extension
The strike was the first by the ILA since 1977, and it impacted port operations at 36 different ports, including the 10 busiest ports in North America.
You're viewing a single thread.
The union also sought limits on automation at ports. The joint statement only mentions wages.
So I'm guessing -- though we'll see what further articles talk about -- that they probably got concessions on wages, but not on automation.
honestly I hope the automation was more of a bargaining chip because less automation is not going to make things better.
I agree, but it definitely puts the union in a tough spot.
not really. unless the automation is absolute where it can't be run with people but that is something we have to figure out at the societal level. citizens income or such.
There will be a commission to negotiate automation. Right now they will have time to negotiate until January 15th.
