No End in Sight for Dock Strike
Thomas W. Gleason of the ILA warned at a strategy meeting there is no end in sight to a 42 day dock strike paralyzing Atlantic and Gulf Coast shipping. He backed Eastern and Gulf Coast workers toward a wage settlement matching New York’s 1.60 per hour rise, with remaining issues in the South Atlantic while Boston and Philadelphia await talks. The strike has cost the economy about 600 million dollars as roughly 65,000 ILA members walked out Dec 20, idling about 451 ships from Maine to Texas.
