Port workers strike starts across the East and Gulf Coasts​

Updated 1:29 AM EDT, Tue October 1, 2024

Nearly 50,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) are on strike Tuesday against the nation’s East and Gulf Coast ports, according to the union, choking off the flow of many of the nation’s imports and exports in what could become America’s most disruptive work stoppage in decades.

The strike, which was also confirmed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as well as the Port of Virginia, began at midnight. There appears to be a wide gap between the union’s demands and the offer of the United States Maritime Alliance, which uses the acronym USMX. The maritime alliance represents the major shipping lines, all of which are foreign owned; as well as terminal operators and port authorities.

Yes, and since then union membership went from 35% of our workforce to 5%. No one looking out for the workers. But unions are coming back and Trump/Musk would just fire them, even though that's illegal,now.

This wouldn't be the first time republicans have cut off their noses to spite their faces.

Since Reagan CEO pay has gone up 1322% and our pay only 18%. Good job Reagan
