The strike at East and Gulf Coast ports concluded on Thursday, allowing cargo operations to resume following a three-day shutdown due to stalled negotiations over wages and automation concerns. The International Longshoremen’s Association and the United States Maritime Alliance reached a tentative agreement to extend their master contract until January 15, 2025, and will return to negotiations on remaining issues. The Biden administration praised the agreement, emphasizing the effectiveness of collective bargaining, and various ports have announced reopening plans.
