ILA members to return to work as union, U.S. Maritime Alliance reach tentative deal

NORFOLK, Va. — The International Longshoremen's Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance issued a joint statement Thursday saying a tentative deal has been reached, less than a week after the union's strike began.

Union members will return to work Friday after the union agreed to extend its contract with the Maritime Alliance to January 15 after it expired Monday.
