up for employers, are meeting in Orlando this week in the opening round
of talks for a contract to replace the current six-year agreement, which
expires Sept. 30, 2010.
The union presented an initial proposal for a new contract that would
take effect immediately upon ratification and continue into 2013. USMX
representatives rejected it Wednesday and were expected to present their
initial offer Thursday.
The ILA proposal included wage increases, combination of the three tiers

graduate to the higher pay of experienced workers, and an end to caps on
container royalties that provide annual bonuses to dockworkers. The
proposal also included language on work jurisdiction and safety.
