The East and Gulf Coast dock strike is over, according to the New York Post. I had written about it two days ago. The workers are supposed to go back to work immediately.
I wonder if Gov. DeSantis calling out the FL National Guard to run the FL ports had anything to do with the quick settlement? The union secured a 62% raise over six years, but had asked for more.
It's an odd settlement. They've agreed on the money issue, but will continue to negotiate other issues between now and Jan. 15, 2025, while continuing to work. This means last minute Christmas shipments will come through.
