Members from the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) have officially ratified a new six-year master contract with their maritime employers, represented by the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX).
Nearly 99% of ILA’s 45,000 registered members voted in favor, securing a 62% pay rise, faster wage increases, and improved benefits. Retroactive to October 1, 2024, the contract also allows ocean carriers to introduce limited automation equipment with job protection guarantees. The contract will be valid through September 30, 2030.
ILA President Harold Daggett called the $35 billion deal historic. The agreement ends a dispute over automation that led to a three-day strike in October, costing the U.S. economy $2 billion.
The ILA and USMX will formally sign the contract on March 11, 2025
