NYSA reaffirms support of ILA lawsuit against Waterfront Commission
NEW York Shipping Association (NYSA), representing owners and port operators, has declared its support for a lawsuit brought by International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) against the Waterfront Commission over those hired to load and unload ships.
The Waterfront Commission said the lawsuit prevents the crime-fighting agency from ensuring the hiring of more non-white males. It is widely understood that longshore jobs are given to the sons of longshoremen working on the New York and New Jersey docks.
The NYSA "no longer represents the interests of its terminal operator members, but, rather that of the ILA", said the Waterfront Commission, according to Newark's Journal of Commerce.
NYSA president John Nardi said that the ILA will continue to work on the collective bargaining agreement and a hiring plan in its six-year labour contract which began April 2013.
