The dockworkers’ strike recently came to an end with a temporary deal in place until January, when the International Longshoremen’s Association will renegotiate with the U.S. Maritime Alliance. The temporary deal ensures the strike won’t be a factor in the November presidential election,

The International Longshoremen's Association, the union representing striking U.S. dockworkers at East and Gulf Coast ports, reached a tentative deal Thursday to suspend its strike until Jan. 15 to negotiate a new contract. The strike had shut down 14 ports along the East and Gulf Coasts since Tuesday.
