Dockworkers Approve Multibillion West Coast Contract
San Francisco AP Nearly 90 percent of International Longshore and Warehouse Union members voted to approve a multibillion-dollar deal ending a labor dispute that shut Pacific ports for 10 days last fall. The contract includes no-cost health insurance, a 60 percent pension increase, higher salaries, and faster cargo processing through computer technology.
