Abstract
The International Longshoremen’s Association (“ILA”) is the labor union that represents dockworkers in ports along the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico. The management counterpart to the ILA is the United States Maritime Alliance (“USMX”) which represents the various employers associated with the East and Gulf Coast ports. The most recent ILA-USMX master contract, or collective bargaining agreement, ran from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2024 (the “2018 Agreement”). As ILA workers prepared for a new contract, their two main concerns were securing pay increases and continuing assurances that human jobs would not be replaced by automation.
