According to the ILA, some 45,000 workers took part in the labor action. But Thursday evening, the two sides announced in a joint statement that they had agreed to a deal.
The agreement is for a wage hike of around 62% over six years. That would raise average wages to about $63 an hour from $39.
Union boss Harold Daggett said previously that employers such as container ship operator Maersk had not agreed to demands to stop port automation projects that threaten jobs.
The union and the port operators also said that they would extend their master contract until January 15, 2025, to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all outstanding issues.
