The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) will resume their contract negotiations in November to resolve a new master contract for container and ro-ro operations at 36 U.S. ports along the East Coast and Gulf Coast. Earlier this month, the two sides extended the master contract after a three-day strike.

“The ILA and USMX welcome the opportunity to return to the bargaining table and get a new agreement in place as soon as possible,” the two sides said in a joint statement released on October 25. The two sides also pledged not to discuss details of negotiations with the media before these meetings, after having waged a war of words in the media leading up to the strike that began on October 1.

Under pressure from the White House, and the Labor and Transportation departments, the two sides reached a tentative agreement on wages on October 3 that includes a 62 percent increase over the six-year contract.

The master contract was extended until January 15, 2025, with the sides set to return to the bargaining table.
