US dockworker contract negotiations resume, focusing on automation's impact

Credited from: REUTERS

  • Contract negotiations for 45,000 dockworkers on the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts will restart on Tuesday, addressing labor disputes influenced by automation.
  • The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) aims to revoke past concessions related to automation, particularly the use of semi-automated cranes.
  • The employer group, U.S. Maritime Alliance (USMX), argues that automation is essential for competitiveness, particularly against Chinese ports.
  • If no agreement is reached by January 15, a strike could occur, potentially disrupting operations just before the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
  • Automation's role has historically increased productivity; however, experts caution its effectiveness in adapting to fluctuating cargo demands in U.S. ports.
