ILA Longshore Workers Strike, Win ILWU Support & the Connection with Palestine

The ILA Longshore workers had a East & Gulf Coast strike for wages to keep up with inflation and also to defend against AI and robotics. They won support from the ILWU who said they would not work diverted cargo.
The strike ended after a wage agreement but without an agreement on AI and robotics and the
tentative agreement expires on January 15, 2025 and unless a new contract is negotiated they
will go back to their old wages.
Also there was a solidarity rally for the ILA the day after the strike ended at Maersk offices in
Emeryville, California next to Oakland which also raised the issue of labor action to stop the
genocide in Gaza, Palestine and the Middle East. Retired ILWU Local 10 longshore worker
Jack Heyman spoke about the connections and action by the ILWU to stop the Israeli Zim
line and the lessons of that struggle.
