U.S. Dockworkers go back to work,..for now

Hi ladies and gentlemen as promised, If any new information would come up before I did the 196th episode, I would post it here for you to read. ila (international longshoremaern,s Association will be back to work on Friday as they announced Thursday evening, as the union and the management group representing shipping lines, terminal operators and port authorities have reached a tentative deal on wages. It is an estimated 62% percent deal that will be in place in increments for the six-year deal. this deal done with the United States Maritime Alliance will now have until January 15 and have the union members back on the job while the final details are worked out in full agreement and is ratified by the rank and file.

now here’s the maybe,.. A tentative deal would still need to be ratified by the rank and file ILA members before it would take effect. But with ships stuck at sea unable to come into US ports to unload and load goods, the union has agreed to have workers return to work on Friday. Still, should the members vote against the deal, the strike might start all over again. And such a rejection of a tentative labor deal in not unheard of.

will keep everyone in the loop and I will still be doing a podcast segment about this and other topics this weekend. Tyrone
