A historic moment recently unfolded at U.S. ports, as 45,000 workers banded together as part of a powerful strike – the first of its kind on the East Coast since 1977. These dedicated individuals, represented by the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA), are fighting for fair wages and working conditions against wealthy corporations that have profited immensely during the pandemic.
For too long, these workers have been overlooked and underpaid, while shipping companies rake in record profits – some exceeding 800% compared to pre-pandemic levels. It’s unacceptable that while executives enjoy lavish compensation, the very workers who keep our supply chains moving struggle to make ends meet.
Please sign this petition to demand that shipping corporations and port operators negotiate a contract that honors the hard work and dedication of these essential workers.
