The US
west coast is safe from the threat of strikes finally. Dockworkers have voted
in favour of ratifying a contract agreement with employment association Pacific
Maritime Association (PMA), the International Longshore and Warehouse Union
(ILWU) announced yesterday,31 Aug, bringing to a close a period of significant
industrial unrest.
The new six-year contract is
retroactive from July 1, 2022.
The deal
includes a 32% pay increase over the span of the contract as well as a one-time
bonus for working through the early days of the covid pandemic.
“This contract provides an important
framework for the hard work ahead to overcome new competitive challenges and to
continue to position the West Coast ports as destinations of choice for
shippers worldwide,” said PMA president and CEO Jim McKenna. “From San
Diego to Bellingham, these ports have long been the primary gateways for cargo
coming into and leaving the United States, and our interests are aligned in
ensuring they can effectively, and efficiently, handle the capacity growth that
drives economies and jobs.’’
