After going on strike earlier this week, U.S. dockworkers have reached a tentative agreement with their employers regarding an improved wage offer. The striking workers, represented by the International Longshoremen's Association, are set to return to work on Friday following the agreement.

The new wage offer includes a substantial 62% increase, which is a significant improvement from the previous offer. This offer will remain on the table for the next 90 days, giving both parties a window to finalize the deal. However, if an agreement is not reached within this timeframe, the proposed wage hike will be withdrawn.
