Dock Strike To Continue Across Atlantic Ports
New York and union leaders remain far apart as the longshoremen strike drags on. The New York Shipping Association will not meet with the International Longshoremen’s Association until Oct. 15, while the union demands a new contract before returning to the docks. The 85,000 workers’ walkout has halted cargo on about 200 freighters from Searsport Maine to Brownsville Texas, costing an estimated 20 million dollars daily. Federal mediator Robert H. Moore plans separate talks Monday, with joint talks unlikely. The dispute follows a 15 day contract extension that lapsed Sept 30, with retroactive benefits to Oct 1.
