wage negotiations

Yesterday, the second day of the dock workers strike along the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico, is causing significant disruptions to the movement of goods across the nation. Dockworkers at major ports, including Port Newark, are continuing their protest, demanding higher wages and a ban on port automation, which they argue threatens their livelihoods. Thousands of workers from the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) have halted operations at these critical ports, and their union vows to stay on the picket lines for as long as it takes to secure their demands.
