NORFOLK, Va. — The International Longshoremen's Association and the United States Maritime Alliance reached a tentative agreement on a new six-year Master Contract ahead of their Jan. 15 deadline, according to the ILA.
“This agreement protects current ILA jobs and establishes a framework for implementing technologies that will create more jobs while modernizing East and Gulf coast ports – making them safer and more efficient, and creating the capacity they need to keep our supply chains strong,” both sides said in a statement.
