US dockworkers approve 6-year contract, averting a strike

Dockworkers on the U.S. East and Gulf coasts approved a six-year contract with nearly 99% in favor, averting a potential strike that could have harmed the economy.
The contract includes a 62% pay increase, raising wages from $39 an hour to $63 an hour, according to the International Longshoremen's Association.
The agreement allows for some automation while requiring ports to hire new workers as they modernize technology.
ILA President Harold Daggett stated the contract is the 'gold standard' for dockworker unions globally, providing 'labor peace for the next six years.
