Longshoremen Ignore JFK Plea Across Atlantic Gulf Ports
Longshoremen walkout tied up shipping from Searsport Maine to Brownsville Texas as 81,000 ILA members ignore Kennedy’s 90 day postponement plea. The strike began at 5 p.m. Sunday, following an 80 day federal injunction tied to Taft-Hartley era actions and after an ILA four day stoppage. The dispute centers on ship owners demanding a 3 man reduction in gangs from 20 to 17, while ILA counters it would harm their ability to do business.
