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.
Is there any indication that they care? Or are we wishcasting about the I Love America Union
Ngl it's still kinda bittersweet since they still agreed to load military equipment. Just more chauvinism, but I'm wanting too much for burgereich workers to have solidarity with international workers.

Yer not wanting too much... you just feel what abolitionists feel when the Missouri Compromise was made
This is so funny because it seems like most recent strikes have only lasted like a single day before the company folds. Which is great. But it shows why they try so hard to prevent the strike in the first place and try to portray strikers negatively because once the strike is called, the company has already lost.
God damn 10% raises every year for 6 years? That's fucking sick.
I was genuinely expecting Brandon to break it again, but I'm happy to be wrong. If Kamala's team is smart they'll spin this as a win for them hard.
so they've stopped the strike in exchange for a promise of a contract next year? and the promised contract is an 8% yearly raise? idk about this one
This is a massive wage increase and a win for the union.
Going from 80k year to 130k could easily be the difference from scraping by to living comfortably if it’s a single income with kids.
