The International Longshore and Warehouse Union's (ILWU) Coast Balloting Committee on Friday confirmed that West Coast longshore workers at 29 ports in California, Oregon and Washington have officially ratified a three-year contract extension with the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA). The tally showed that 67% of members voted in favor of the extension. The current agreement was set to expire on July 1, 2019. The newly approved three-year pact will extend the expiration to July 1, 2022.
The contract extension will raise wages, maintain health benefits, and increase pensions from 2019-2022.
The ILWU's Coast Longshore Division represents approximately 20,000 longshore workers on the U.S. West Coast.
