New labour contract at US ports ratified

There has been some excellent news from the USA today that dockworkers from the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) have voted overwhelming in favour of a new six-year labour contract with employers.

The ratification of the deal lifts any lingering threat of renewed industrial action at US East and Gulf coast ports and is great news for the U-Freight Group, and customers that use our portfolio of international ocean freight operations through the container terminals at those ports, which include LCL and FCL import and export operations.

The news has been widely covered by the international media and a good example can be seen here:
