题名: West Coast Dockworkers Ratify Contract
正文语种: eng
作者: DAVID MURRAY
摘要: Members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union voted to ratify a new six-year contract with the Pacific Maritime Association, which operates West Coast port terminals, on September 1. The vote to approve the agreement by more than 75 percent ended a dockworkers' strike that had paralyzed West Coast ports since July 1. The strike had led shippers to shift cargoes to Gulf Coast and East Coast ports. The agreement covers 22,000 dockworkers at 29 ports from Los Angeles to Seattle. Details of the agreement were not disclosed. The longshore workers' contract had expired in July. Longshore workers sought higher pay in the wake of record profits by shippers as demand recovered after COVID-19 restrictions, resulting in a surge in imports that sometimes overwhelmed ports.
