"We are prepared to fight as long as necessary, to stay out on strike for whatever period of time it takes, to get the wages and protections against automation our ILA members deserve," Harold Daggett, head of the 85,000-member union, stated, emphasizing the determination of the ILA members to secure better wages and protections against the threat of job losses due to automation.
"USMX brought on this strike when they decided to hold firm to foreign-owned Ocean Carriers earning billion-dollar profits at United States ports, but not compensate the American ILA longshore workers who perform the labor that brings them their wealth," Daggett added, indicating the ILA's position against what they view as unfair compensation practices.
