The current contract extends from Oct. 1, 2018, through Sept. 30, 2024.
The ILA is now seeking $200 million for “massive damages” for the container carrier using non-bargaining employees to perform crane work, operate forklifts and move the containers onto chassis, the lawsuit said.
The sum was calculated from future estimates of lost work throughout the coast, according to the ILA source. That includes lost work opportunities, wages and benefits for members, as well as depriving the ILA of dues income
The ILA claims Hapag-Lloyd and USMX are liable for interfering with a contractual relationship, breach of contract and civil conspiracy for knowingly using the HLT and employees not covered under the USMX Master Contract.
ERIC ADAMS RELEASES PLAN TO TURN NYC INTO WIND POWER HUB
ERIC ADAMS RELEASES HIS PLAN TO TURN NEW YORK CITY INTO WIND POWER HUB OF THE NORTHEAST
New York, NY–New York City mayoral candidate Eric Adams released his plan today to turn New York City into the Northeast wind power hub, calling the emerging industry “a tailwind for our new economy.”
Adams’ plan includes leveraging waterfront assets like the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, the Red Hook Container Terminal, the Staten Island waterfront, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and others to take advantage of new federal funding announced last week so that New York can design, construct and ship the components necessary to build wind farms in the region. And Adams specifically called for approval of the proposed Arthur Kill wind power facility in Staten Island.

The director of the maritime division at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said passengers could be boarding cruise ships in U.S. ports as soon as July.
It all depends on how many people get vaccinated, how well COVID-19 variants can be kept at bay, and how fast cruise companies can secure agreements with local ports and health authorities in the cities they plan to visit, said CDC’s Martin Cetron in an interview.
Could it be a North Carolinian?
The damages to the quarter-mile long container ship, Ever Given, which ran aground in the canal are just the beginning. Egypt lost millions in toll revenue from hundreds of ships backed up. Somebody has to pay for the earth moving equipment and tugboats that dislodged the Ever Given from the canalâs banks where it was stuck for six days. Then there are damages that will accrue to owners of the cargo items for late delivery charges and for the spoilage to time sensitive agricultural products.
Could all this have been caused by a North Carolinian?
