The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) has said that the six-year Master Contract, negotiated by the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) and ILA was approved by ILA members at ports on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, by a staggering 88% of the more than 8,000 ILA members who cast votes in Tuesday's Master Contract ratification.
Unofficial tallies show that the ILA Master Contract was approved by a margin of 7197 to 972 with 33 voids. It is believed that this ratification vote represents the first time in modern ILA history that every ILA Local voted in favor of it.
