ILA Will Meet With USMX and NYSA To Address Loss of Jobs </h2> </td> <td align="right" valign="bottom" class="nav_links"></td> </tr> <tr><td align="right" valign="bottom"><span class="content_date">9/29/2010</span></td></tr> </table> <div class="blue_line"></div> <br> Aware of the concerns of the rank-and-file members and sensitive to the impact of the picketing on the industry, the ILA has convinced the individual pickets to leave the various terminals in the port of New York and New Jersey. The ILA promised the pickets that it would meet immediately with United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) and New York Shipping Association (NYSA) representatives to address the loss of jobs. It is anticipated that as soon as the pickets leave, normal operations will resume. <br /><br /> The ILA recognizes the frustration of its members resulting from the disingenuous contract negotiating of Del Monte and the predatory pricing actions of Holt. Del Monte asked for and received major concessions from the ILA during contract renewal negotiations. Despite meeting Del Monte s demands, the ILA lost the contract to Holt whose predatory pricing displaces family jobs and creates a class or working poor. The ILA has lost more than 200 jobs as a result of this action. <br /><br /><br /><br /> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div class="footer_left">&copy; All Rights Reserved.&nbsp;&nbsp;2010 International Longshoremen's Association</div> <div class="footer_right"><a href="index.html">Home</a> | <a href="about.html">About</a> | <a href="contact.html">Contact</a></div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
