Many had feared that the workers’ port strike in the U.S. would take many harrowing weeks to reach a settlement, but workers have now negotiated a deal. The dockworkers’ strike has been suspended after the union agreed to put an end to the three-day stoppage and go back to work for now.
The International Longshoremen’s Association, the union that has negotiated a tentative deal for its members, was able to secure an immediate wage raise for the workers, and the dockworkers also agreed to a contract extension to allow for more time to negotiate the finer details of their agreement.
