That would raise average wages to about $63 an hour from $39 an hour over the life of the contract.
The union and the port operators said in a statement that they would extend their master contract until Jan. 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all outstanding issues.

Ngl it’s still kinda bittersweet since they still agreed to load military equipment. Just more chauvinism, but I’m wanting too much for burgereich workers to have solidarity with international workers.
It’s very hard for me to feel anything positive. I keep having this thought:
Would I have supported the Nazi German Dockworkers Union going on strike but crossing their own picket line to make sure Zyklon B still gets delivered to the SS? No, I would hope every Nazi fuck who moved one of those canisters was shot at best, or died in poverty at least.
Idk how to get past that thought.
Yer not wanting too much… you just feel what abolitionists feel when the Missouri Compromise was made
