Port of New Orleans survives Ida

Florida ports have suspended all vessel traffic in preparation for Hurricane Milton, as Floridians flee their homes amid mass evacuations.

Ports announce reopening after the ILA and USMX reached a tentative wage deal, ending the strike that had disrupted operations.

Ports across Florida have suspended vessel operations as Hurricane Helene makes landfall.

As the clock ticks down to 30 September, the USMX has filed an unfair labour practice charge with the National Labour Relations Board.

The US Federal Maritime Commission said it would fully investigate and prosecute any violations of maritime laws and regulations during potential port closures.

USMX says it wants to negotiate, ILA says employers refuse to accept its bottom line on pay increases.
