Brief ILA strike alters once-placid labor landscape on East, Gulf coasts [JOC, Link ]

 

   Now, even though the strike was suspended after three days when employers increased their offer to a 62% wage increase over the term of a new six-year contract, shippers believe something more profound has changed.

 

   The diversions were so predictable during the most recent disruptive West Coast negotiations that the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) called it out in June 2023 in response to “coordinated and disruptive work actions” by the ILWU as the contract was being negotiated.

 

   “The ILWU’s repeated disruptive work actions at strategic ports along the West Coast are increasingly causing companies to divert cargo to more customer-friendly and reliable locations along the Gulf and East coasts,” the PMA said.

 

   Certainly, the next contract negotiation will be watched much more carefully than it was in the past and likely will prompt diversions that would never have been needed in prior years.

Strike bullet dodged for now, but raises questions of market resilience: analyst

   The next issue would be a possible strike in mid-January. Chinese New Year is on Jan. 29. Usual seasonality would see significant volumes loaded from China to the US from the end of December and during January. If shippers are concerned about a new strike, we might expect to see a shift of some cargo away from the East Coast and over to the West Coast during this seasonal peak, as well as potentially an earlier shipment of cargo than usual.

 

   This could place some pressure on the trans-Pacific trade from early December, and on Asia-US West Coast during January especially.

#Montreal dockworkers to refuse overtime in latest salvo against port employers [JOC, Link ]

 

   Local 375 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) said in a statement Monday that its members will refuse to work overtime starting Thursday for an indefinite period.

 

   Local 375 has been working without a new collective bargaining agreement since the end of 2023. The union and the MEA have been holding talks for a new contract under the auspices of Canada’s Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service

 

   The overtime strike will likely add to the ongoing productivity slump at Montreal following last week’s partial strike.
