Statement by VP #KamalaHarris on #ILA & #USMX Agreement

Tonight the International #Longshoremen’s Association & the #UnitedStates #Maritime Alliance came together to reach a tentative agreement that reopens the East Coast & Gulf #ports, & I want to applaud all involved for their efforts. This step indicates progress toward a strong #contract & represents the power of #CollectiveBargaining.
