ILA strike delayed 30 days

As the December 29th deadline for the negotiations between the International Longshoremen's Association and United States Maritime Alliance quickly approaches, some relief is in sight. A 30 day extension was granted on the ILA contract discussions to avoid the December 29 strike.

The parties are proposing to return Jan. 7 after the holidays to begin two weeks of intensive negotiations in hopes averting the threat of an East and Gulf coast port strike. 

We will continuing to monitor the situation and provide the latest information as we receive it. Please contact your move manager if you have any questions.
