US Port Strike Averted

Good news, the US port strike has been successfully averted just ahead of the deadline set on the 15th January.

We are pleased to inform you that The International Longshoremen’s Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance reached a tentative six-year agreement on the 9th January.

This agreement protects union jobs and enables the modernization of ports on the East and Gulf coasts with new technologies. These improvements will enhance safety, efficiency, and the strength of our supply chains, ensuring that your orders and shipments continue smoothly without interruption.

Whilst no details of the agreement have been released, the two sides have agreed to continue to operate until the USMX member can ratify the terms of the final contract.
