Longshore Delegates OK Contract Extension

 The Journal of Commerce Online - News Story

 Joseph Bonney | Sep 30, 200

Two-year extension goes to rank-and-file ILA members next month 

International Longshoremen's Association delegates voted overwhelmingly Wednesday for a two-year extension of the union contract covering 18,500 Atlantic and Gulf dockworkers.

After two days of negotiations in Orlando, delegates representing 58 locals voted for the agreement, with nine locals opposed. The contract extension will be submitted to the union's members for ratification on Nov. 17, potentially extending a long period of labor peace at ports in the regions and quieting an uproar that has grown in the union over the contract talks.
