We [also] want absolute airtight language that there will be no automation or semi-automation, and we are demanding all Container Royalty monies go to the ILA, asserted union president Harold Daggett.
They might claim a significant increase, but they conveniently omit that many of our members are operating multi-million-dollar container-handling equipment for a mere $20 an hour, the ILA retorted.
USMX's claim that they are ready to bargain rings hollow when they waited until the eve of a potential strike to present this offer, the union added.
Our members feel underappreciated - especially given the sacrifices they made during the pandemic, keeping ports open and the economy moving, noted the ILA.
