Where #blockades are attended by large numbers of people they make it possible for #dockworkers to cease work on the grounds of #healthandsafety concerns. Not only can these concerns be legitimate, they allow the #union to show #solidarity while avoiding #antistrikelaws.

East and Gulf Coast #dockworkers suspended their strike after securing a tentative agreement with shipping companies, which includes a 62% wage increase over six years, reflecting a hard-fought struggle against corporate greed.

This is a significant victory for the dockworkers and a testament to the power of collective action.

Under my [the #Biden] Administration, #unemployment has been the lowest in 50 yrs, a record 19M new businesses have been created, & #inflation & #InterestRates are falling. And we’re seeing the power of #CollectiveBargaining to lift up #workers’ wages—including the progress made by #dockworkers on record #wages w/carriers, & #port operators & the reopening of East Coast & Gulf #ports.

'Causing heads to explode': Alarms sound as #ProTrump union leader accused of '#sabotage'

Story by Matthew Chapman
October 3, 2024

"Political observers and experts are raising alarms about the International #Longshoreman's Association union strike, which has seen #dockworkers suspend their duties unloading cargo at ports along the East and Gulf Coasts — speculating whether the head of the union is attempting economic sabotage in favor of former President Donald #Trump.

"#USMX, the key guild of maritime employers, offered the ILA upwards of 60 percent salary increases in their new contracts. The ILA, however, is demanding even higher increases, as well as the continuation of exorbitant fees to handle shipping containers — a practice so expensive, according to maritime journalist John Konrad, that U.S. ports frequently ship freight over roads hundreds of miles at ten times the expense to consumers rather than transport containers onto secondary barges at a fraction of the price to consumers — as well as a total ban on any new technology to automate ports, which industry experts have warned could destroy the competitiveness of U.S. shipping.

"The extreme nature of the demands has caused speculation among observers that the whole thing might be a ploy to get Trump elected."

“The Ocean Carriers represented by #USMX want to enjoy rich billion-dollar profits that they are making in 2024, while they offer #ILA #LongshoreWorkers an unacceptable wage package that we reject,” the #union said earlier Monday.

The #WhiteHouse said in a statement Monday that #Biden admin ofcls had met w/both sides & had been “working around-the-clock” over the weekend to avert a #strike.

The #US Maritime Alliance (#USMX), which represents the companies, said Mon just hours before a midnight deadline that negotiators had traded proposals in recent days & that it was offering 50% raises. The alliance said it was seeking a contract extension to allow talks to continue. The #union, which represents 47k workers, did not respond publicly to the operators’ 11th-hour offer.

The #strike will cause immediate disruptions at #ports that handle >½ of the #UnitedStates’ #trade in cargo containers. The effects are expected to ripple through the country, costing hundreds of millions of dollars a day or more & getting worse each day the #longshoremen remain off the job.
It was unclear early Tues what the next steps might be in resolving the dispute between the International Longshoremen’s Association (#ILA) & #shippers & port operators.

#Longshoremen’s #union walkout follows last-minute efforts by the #WhiteHouse to avert a strike.

Tens of thousands of #dockworkers launched a strike at #ports along the East Coast & the #GulfOfMexico on Tues, stranding stacks of shipping containers on docks & idling ships outside harbors in a threat to the #economy just 5 weeks before the election.

dear #american #dockworkers and associates of war industry production (lockhead, bae, etc);

..ikyk you have the power to #shutitdown with #generalstrikes as you threatened to almost do over "holy days" in 24. disappointingly, you were offered crumbs to keep oiling machines that grind babies into dust, and rolled over without so much as a whimper. ok, maybe your capitalist washed brains were "scared" of retaliation. please grow a pair and try again, unless you like being complicit in massmurder.

Marina Forti wrote about the remarkable general strike for Gaza in Italy and the struggle of dockworkers against arms exports.
