Industry Update: Potential Strike at Key Ports

September 24, 2024

In two weeks, the labor contract between the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) is about to expire. This could lead to a disruption over a key part of the U.S. supply chain where over 70,000 dockworkers across 36 East and Gulf Coast ports could strike. The main issues are wage demands and automation. ILA is seeking higher pay while there is an ongoing controversy regarding the use of automation technologies since it might break current contract terms. This potential strike highlights the ongoing conflict between embracing new technologies and ensuring job security in the logistics industry.
