After a three-day massive port strike<\/a> across America\u2019s East Coast port workers have returned to work.<\/p>\n

According to previous reports from CNN, nearly 50,000 members of the union, International Longshoremen\u2019s Association (ILA) went on strike on Tuesday, October 1, and were requesting an increase in wages.<\/p>\n

Reports from\u00a0msn.com<\/a>\u00a0today stated that the work stoppage had threatened to disrupt supply chains, causing shortages of some consumer goods and supplies needed to keep US factories running. It also temporarily cut off the flow of many American exports, putting overseas sales at risk for some US businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut relatively little damage was done, with the strike lasting only three days, especially since many shippers had rushed to move their goods through the ports ahead of the 12:01 AM Tuesday start of the strike, a deadline that had been known for months,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n

The maritime alliance, which operates under the acronym USMX, agreed to raises of $4 an hour for the union members on top of the current base pay of $39 an hour, an immediate raise of just more than 10%, according to a person familiar with the deal. Then union members will get additional $4-per-hour raises every year during the life of the six-year tentative deal. That will raise pay by a total of $24 an hour during the life of the contract, or by 62% in total.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe union had been willing to consider the $4-an-hour deal before the strike, union boss Harold Daggett\u00a0said on the picket line outside the Port of New York and New Jersey early Tuesday, soon after the start of the\u00a0strike.\u00a0\u00a0But when the company countered with a $3-an-hour offer, he rejected it with colorful language and took his members out on their first strike since 1977,\u201dmsn.com<\/a>\u00a0reported. \u201cBut Thursday the USMX agreed to up its offer, and the strike came to a quick conclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report added, \u201cOnce there was an agreement on wages, both sides were eager to get workers back on the job as soon as possible, although there is still more to be done on the rest of the contract.\u201d<\/p>\n
