That would raise average wages to about $63 an hour from $39 an hour over the life of the contract.
The union and the port operators said in a statement that they would extend their master contract until Jan. 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all outstanding issues.

I do hope they vote out their
leadership since workers were allowed to cross the picketline to help load military weapons.
The typical American is unbelievably reactionary, I'd be shocked if the majority of the membership even mildly disapproved of assisting the burger reich.
A majority of Americans support suspending arms sales to Israel. I can’t imagine that’s lower among union members.
they may "disapprove" but Americans aren't gonna betray the troops yet. And if they did they wouldn't be able to handle the heat (the government would literally try to kill them). There's no solidarity with other nations or even other workers in other sectors in the US, they were just striking for themselves.
Is there any indication that they care? Or are we wishcasting about the I Love America Union
