ILA members overwhelmingly approve new contract covering East, Gulf coast ports

There’s labor peace at Eastern Seaboard and Gulf Coast ports — for another six years.

Members of the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) on Tuesday overwhelmingly voted to ratify the new master contract with port employers represented by the United States Maritime Alliance.

The union in a release said nearly 99% of rank-and-file members voted to approve the pact covering 24,000 workers in container handling at 14 ports from Boston to Texas.

Los Angeles, the busiest US container port, plans even bigger future

While the global supply chain seemed whipsawed on a daily basis in 2024, one thing remained constant: a veritable tsunami of ocean containers moving through the Port of Los Angeles.

The busiest U.S. maritime trade hub moved 10.3 million container units in 2024, a record 1.7 million TEUs or nearly 20% higher than a year ago.

“That is our second-best year in the 117-year history of the Port of Los Angeles,” said Executive Director Gene Seroka, who spoke at the annual State of the Port event...

Canada container ports face backlogs, delays

Container operations have resumed following labor-related disruptions at Canada’s busiest ports, which continue to work through backlogs toward normal operations.

The Canada Industrial Relations Board on Nov. 14 granted a request by Labor Minister Steven MacKinnon and ordered an end to lockouts of union workers at West Coast ports as well as at the Port of Montreal. The order also called for binding arbitration in the ongoing contract disputes.

On the west coast, the British Columbia Maritime...

British Columbia ports face shutdown in labor contract dispute

The move by the British Columbia Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) representing ocean carriers and terminal operators at the Port of Vancouver, the country’s busiest container hub, and the Port of Prince Rupert, comes in a contract dispute over 700 forepersons represented by International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU)...

Top US container ports awarded $1.6B to electrify

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration has released $3 billion in funding aimed at cutting pollution at U.S. ports, with roughly half of that going to electrify some of the country’s largest container operations.

Of the 55 grant applicants across 27 states that were awarded money from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Ports Program, the top five winners – the ports of Los Angeles, New York/New Jersey, Virginia, Baltimore and Oakland, California – received $1.6 billion.

Report: Biden won’t block dock strike

President Joe Biden won’t intervene to prevent a strike at East and Gulf Coast ports by union longshore workers, according to a published report.

The federal Taft-Hartley Act grants presidents powers to intervene in labor disputes that threaten national security or safety by imposing an 80-day cooling-off period, and forcing employees back to work while negotiations continue.

“We’ve never invoked Taft-Hartley to break a strike and are not considering doing so now,” a Biden administration official...
