THE US Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS)
has announced that a tentative agreement has been reached by US east and Gulf
coast United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) and the International
Longshoremen's Association (ILA) on a new labour contract.
But no details were issued the following the FMCS
statement on the labour negotiations between the USMX and the ILA.
"I am extremely pleased to announce that the parties
have reached a tentative agreement for a comprehensive successor Master
Agreement," said FMCS director George Cohen in statement.
"The tentative agreement is subject to the
ratification procedures of both parties and, as well, to agreements being
achieved in a number of local union negotiations. Those local negotiations are
ongoing and will continue without interruption to any port operation," he
said.
"On behalf of the FMCS, I want to especially convey
my thanks to ILA president Harold Daggett and USMX chairman and CEO James Capo
for their leadership, patience, and persistence and to their respective
hard-working negotiating committees," he said.
