The International Longshoremen's Association announced that its 45,000 U.S. dockworkers will suspend their strike until January 15, providing time to negotiate a new contract.
Although details of the new wage agreement weren't disclosed, both the union and ports reached an understanding that enabled workers to return to their jobs immediately.
The strike had significant potential to disrupt supply chains, but retailers proactively stocked shelves to mitigate the impact of the work stoppage.
The affected ports, stretching from Maine to Texas, experienced varying degrees of disruption during the strike, underscoring the critical nature of dockworkers' roles.
