Vice President Kamala Harris commended the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance for reaching a tentative agreement on wages, bringing an end to the strike that had impacted East Coast and Gulf ports.
The agreement, announced on Thursday evening, allows ILA members to resume work at the ports starting Friday. However, the deal is still subject to ratification by the rank-and-file ILA members before it can be implemented.
