NY Shipping Assn. and ILA Announce Tentative Agreement

The New York Shipping Association and the International Longshormen's Association reached a tentative agreement on a contract for the Ports of New York and New Jersey, said a NYSA spokeswoman. "There are a few issues which will require refinement that will be discussed when the parties meet again next week in Tampa, Florida," she said. No details will be released until the tentative agreement is presented to the full ILA wage scale early next week, she said.
