The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) ended its three-day strike after reaching a tentative agreement for a 62% wage increase over six years. The contract is extended until January 15th to allow for further negotiations on the critical issue of port automation. A "boots on the ground" report suggests the strike was timed to avoid hurting the Harris campaign and to bolster the retirement of union boss Harold Daggett.
