Additional Context

Will the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) conduct a work stoppage lasting 24+ hours at East or Gulf Coast ports in 2026? The ILA and USMX reached a tentative 6-year contract in January 2025, ratified in February with 99% approval. However, automation language remains contentious—the agreement only prohibits "fully automated" terminals, leaving room for disputes over "semi-automated" equipment.
