The tentative agreement comes after more than a year of negotiations and several work disruptions that snarled shipping traffic at some of the largest ports
The union for thousands of West Coast dockworkers has reached a tentative agreement on a new contract, it was announced Wednesday, after more than a year of negotiations and several work disruptions that snarled shipping traffic at some of the largest ports.
A lockout in 2002 and an eight-day strike in 2015 cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars and forced the administrations of then-presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama to intervene. The union sought higher wages, arguing they deserved a greater share of record profits made by shippers and terminal operators during the pandemic.
