Without a contract between the groups, as many as 45,000 members are walking off the job at more than a dozen major ports, including facilities in New York and Texas.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-1xxadal-0 bKGfty js_related-stories-inset\" data-vtas-click=\"inner:Recommendation:related-stories-inset\">\n<div class=\"sc-1xxadal-6 jLqHKJ\">\n<div class=\"sc-1xxadal-3 cpbrOh\">\n<div class=\"sc-1xxadal-4 jCQOYE\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">Longshoremen\u00a0 people who load and unload cargo at ports\u00a0 on the West Coast are represented by a different union, which agreed to a contract last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">\u201cThe Ocean Carriers represented by USMX want to enjoy rich billion-dollar profits that they are making in 2024, while they offer ILA Longshore Workers an unacceptable wage package that we reject,\u201d the ILA said in a\u00a0<a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 eqRerm js_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ILAUnion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ILAUnion\/&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\">statement<\/a>\u00a0Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">The ILA is\u00a0demanding higher wages\u00a0and a salary that outpaces inflation, which is\u00a0cooling\u00a0after a long stubborn streak, and provides more than the small wage increases included in its\u00a0last contract. Between 2018 and 2024, employees received a $1 per hour increase to their wages, to a maximum of $38 per hour about $79,000 annually on a 40-hour work week while new employees started at $20 an hour.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-v7tysz-0 ilZXoP connatix-main-container\">\n<div id=\"connatix-mid-article-thumbnails\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">Workers are also pushing for protection against automation and new technology devices in terminals. Exact details of the union\u2019s demands, or the alliance\u2019s offers, haven\u2019t been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">\u201cThe strike is back,\u201d Todd Vachon, the director of Rutgers University\u2019s Labor Education Action Research Network, said Monday, pointing to the various labor actions taken by unions over the past few years. \u201cUnions have always fought to make bad jobs into good jobs. And when those jobs come under threat, they will fight to save them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">USMX has countered that it has provided several offers since discussions began as far back as\u00a02022, although negotiations kicked off in earnest in\u00a0May. On Sept. 26, the alliance\u00a0filed an unfair labor practice charge\u00a0and requested the National Labor Relations Board require the union to resume bargaining before a strike breaks out. According to the alliance, the parties haven\u2019t met in person since June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">\u201cWe remain prepared to bargain at any time, but both sides must come to the table if we are going to reach a deal, and there is no indication that the ILA is interested in negotiating at this time,\u201d the alliance said on Sept. 23, according to a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">The strike is the first at these ports since 1977, when trade accounted for just 16% of the U.S. economy, compared to 27% in 2024, the Washington Post\u00a0<a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 eqRerm js_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2024\/09\/28\/port-strike-longshoremen-union-shipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2024\/09\/28\/port-strike-longshoremen-union-shipping\/&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\">reported<\/a>.

Morgan. Oxford Economics has said a prolonged strike could impact up to 100,000 jobs and reduce U.S. economic activity by between $4.5 billion and $7.5 billion for every week it persists.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">\u201cThe congestion and delays at these major ports will severely impact the availability of containers, increase costs, and disrupt schedules,\u201d Container xChange CEO Christian Roeloffs, whose company works with\u00a0<a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 eqRerm js_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.container-xchange.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.container-xchange.com\/about-us\/&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\">more than 1,500 shipping companies<\/a>, said in a Thursday advisory to customers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">Although the White House and federal agencies have encouraged the ILA and USMX to meet at the bargaining table, President Biden has signaled he won\u2019t interfere with the workers\u2019 strike. Under the Taft-Harley Act, the president can impose an 80-day period where workers go back to work while negotiators work on a deal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">A\u00a0<a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 eqRerm js_link\" href=\"https:\/\/gcaptain.com\/trade-groups-urge-biden-to-act-as-east-and-gulf-coast-port-strike-looms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/gcaptain.com\/trade-groups-urge-biden-to-act-as-east-and-gulf-coast-port-strike-looms\/&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\">177-member strong coalition of trade associations<\/a>\u00a0wrote to Biden weeks before the contract expired to ask him to invoke Taft-Harley and avoid the strike. Suzanne Clark, the president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said failing to intervene would be \u201cunconscionable,\u201d according to a Monday\u00a0<a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 eqRerm js_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uschamber.com\/economy\/u-s-chamber-letter-calling-on-president-biden-to-invoke-taft-hartley-avoid-work-stoppage-at-u-s-ports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.uschamber.com\/economy\/u-s-chamber-letter-calling-on-president-biden-to-invoke-taft-hartley-avoid-work-stoppage-at-u-s-ports&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\">letter<\/a>\u00a0to the president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">\u201cIt\u2019s collective bargaining.
