Update on US strikes
The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance, Ltd. (USMX) have reached a tentative agreement on wages and have agreed to extend the Master Contract until January 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all other outstanding issues.
Effective immediately, all current job actions will cease and all work covered by the Master Contract will resume. The strike is over, all terminals have started their operations. Hopefully, the damage on delays and costs will be to an absolute minimum.
