国际码头工人协会（ILA）成员于10月1日凌晨12:01开始罢工，导致美国东部和墨西哥湾沿岸的集装箱港口瘫痪。
最后的谈判未能避免从缅因州到德克萨斯州的港口罢工，这是自1977年以来的首次。
社交媒体上的视频显示，在截止日期过后几分钟，罢工的码头工人游行到波士顿康利码头。
弗吉尼亚港在其网站上发布了最新消息，称罢工于10月1日凌晨12:01开始。“由于美国海事联盟（USMX）和国际码头工人协会（ILA）之间的主协议到期，弗吉尼亚港和美国东部和墨西哥湾沿岸的其他港口停工，”它说。
周一，在新的主劳动合同雇主谈判陷入僵局数月后，代表美国海事联盟（USMX）的雇主表示：“在过去的24小时里，USMX和ILA就工资问题交换了反要约。”
USMX提出了一个改进的报价，称将把工资提高近50%，并要求延长现有的六年主合同。
虽然没有官方声明，但国际港务局似乎拒绝了这一提议，坚持其在合同六年内加薪77%的要求，并禁止港口进一步自动化。
ILA在9月30日上午11点发表的一份声明中表示：“以USMX为代表的海运公司希望在2024年获得数十亿美元的丰厚利润，同时他们为ILA码头工人提供了我们拒绝的不可接受的工资待遇。”
包括马士基、地中海、赫伯罗特和达飞海运在内的主要集装箱航运公司已经宣布了劳工中断附加费。
工会表示，他们不会处理改道至美国西海岸的船只，墨西哥和加拿大港口的额外运力也很少，预计前往东海岸港口的集装箱船将抛锚等待罢工结束。
海洋网络船务公司首席执行官杰里米·尼克松上周表示：“因此，目前正在前往东海岸的船只将不得不坐等，直到工业中断得到解决。”
本月早些时候，汇丰全球研究的最新全球货运监测报告指出，2023年，美国墨西哥湾和东海岸港口占美国进口的57%，占全球集装箱贸易的8%。近几个月来，美国西海岸港口的进口量激增，2024年这一份额略有下降，占今年迄今进口总量的55.5%。
Members of the International Longshoremen Association (ILA) went on strike from 12:01am on 1 October paralysing container ports on the US East and Gulf Coasts.
Last ditch talks failed to avert the strike at ports from Maine to Texas, for the first time since 1977.
Video on social media showed striking dockworkers marching to picket Conley terminal in Boston minutes after the deadline passed.
The Port of Virginia posted an update on its website saying a strike had started at 12:01am on 1 October. “As a result of the expiration of the master agreement between United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) and the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA), there is a work stoppage at The Port of Virginia and other ports along the US East and Gulf coasts,” it said.
On Monday after a months long impasse in negotiations over a new master labour contract employers, represented the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), said "In the last 24 hours, the USMX and ILA have traded counter offers related to wages.”
The USMX made an improved offer which it said would increase wages by nearly 50% and requested an extension of the existing six-year master contract.
While there has been no official statement the ILA would appear to have rejected the offer sticking to its demands for 77% wage increase over the six years of the contract and a ban on further automation at ports.
In a statement issued at 11am on 30 September the ILA said: “The Ocean Carriers represented by USMX want to enjoy rich billion-dollar profits that they are making in 2024, while they offer ILA Longshore Workers an unacceptable wage package that we reject.”
Major container lines including Maersk, MSC, Hapag-Lloyd, and CMA CGM have already announced labour disruption surcharges.
With unions saying they will not handle vessels diverted to the US West Coast, and little additional capacity at Mexican and Canadian ports, container vessels bound for East Coast ports are expected to drop anchor and wait out the strike.
Ocean Network Express CEO Jeremy Nixon said last week, “So, the vessels are now on their way to the East Coast will have to sit and wait until that industrial disruption is resolved.”
Earlier this month HSBC Global Research’s latest Global Freight Monitor report noted that US Gulf and East Coast ports accounted for 57% of US imports and 8% of global container trade in 2023. A surge in volumes diverted to US West Coast ports in recent months has seen this share reduce slightly in 2024 to 55.5% of total import volume year-to-date.
