Everyone including cruise lines will be impacted if it lasts a long time as there will be a problem with supplies. If it is over quickly, cruise lines should not be impacted at all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ColeThornton Posted 12 hours ago #10 Share Posted 12 hours ago 30 minutes ago, ontheweb said: Actually I believe it has been settled. From CNN.com: The union agreed to extend the contract it had with the United States Maritime Alliance, the management group known as USMX. That deal, which had expired at the end of Monday, will be now extended until January 15 and have the union members back on the job while the final details are worked out in a full agreement that will need to be ratified by the rank-and-file 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wage issue has been settled, but they are continuing to negotiate about the automation of the ports, which is one of the top sticking points to a new contract. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they settled for a 62% raise. But the other items will be addressed in January.

As was posted already, I believe the wages portion has been settled. As for the rest, no one has to have any worries until mid-January. And then at the last moment, it will be settled, delayed, or a strike. But basically in labor disputes, nothing gets settled until the last minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, from what I understand, the workers have from now until January to vote on the wages and the rest will be decided later. It could surely go south if the dock workers vote down the wage increase and stick to 70%. But I don't think Bentley J Goldchain thought the strike would be so unpopular as it was. He needed a win.

In regards to all who have started threads about the dockworkers striking and will it affect their upcoming cruise, it is settled. In regards to all of us who might worry about rising prices and shortages, it is at least momentarily settled. And I guess technically it is a tentative agreement until the union membership votes and approves the new contract terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
