Biden Comments on ILA-USMX Tentative Agreement

The White House

Collective bargaining plays an important role when it comes to building a strong economy from the middle out and the bottom up. Today's tentative agreement between the International Longshoremen's Association and the United States Maritime Alliance shows that labor and management can come together to benefit workers and their employers.

I applaud the dockworkers' union for delivering a strong contract. Their members kept our ports open during the pandemic, as we worked together to unsnarl global supply chains. Thank you to the carriers and port operators who play an essential role in our nation's economy.
