While others defended Trump\u2019s attempt to protect dockworkers from technological change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The Trump transition team did not respond to ABC News&#8217; request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Here\u2019s what to know about the labor dispute over automation at East and Gulf Coast docks, and what it says about how Trump may approach the economy in his second term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dockworkers and freight companies feud over automation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">A strike in October at docks across the East and Gulf coasts <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Business\/looming-port-strike-fuel-inflation-cause-layoffs-experts\/story?id=114070962\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">threatened<\/a> to upend the economy and drive up prices, but workers and management <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/dockworkers-strike-suspended-sources\/story?id=114445386\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ended<\/a> the stoppage with a tentative agreement after three days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The deal includes a 62% wage increase over the life of the six-year contract, but the two sides have yet to finalize it due to a disagreement over plans for further automation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The standoff centers on the potential installation of cranes that would facilitate the retrieval and storage of freight containers, said John McCown, a non-resident senior fellow at the Center for Maritime Strategy who closely tracks the shipping industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Cranes already help remove containers from a ship and place it in a nearby port terminal, but shipping companies have sought the use of additional automated cranes once goods have reached land, McCown said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The cranes work like an old-fashioned juke box, he added. \u201cYou hit a number and it goes to pick a record and play a record,\u201d McCown said, noting the cranes would similarly mechanize sorting and transport of containers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The U.S. Maritime Alliance, or USMX, the organization representing shipping firms in negotiations, said on Thursday that such automation would improve efficiency and increase capacity. Those enhancements would benefit U.S. companies and consumers that depend on goods from abroad, the group added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">\u201cWe need modern technology that is proven to improve worker safety, boost port efficiency, increase port capacity, and strengthen our supply chains,\u201d USMX <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmx.com\/assets\/content\/public-resources\/12-12-24_USMX_STATEMENT.pdf\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The USMX did not immediately respond to ABC News&#8217; request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The plans have drawn rebuke from the International Longshoremen\u2019s Association, or ILA, the union representing dockworkers. The union has pointed to massive profits enjoyed by the shipping firms during the pandemic, saying further automation would invest those gains in job-cutting machinery rather than increased compensation. Workers have also disputed the supposed productivity benefits of the technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">\u201cThis isn\u2019t about safety or productivity &#8212; it\u2019s about job elimination,\u201d ILA President Dennis Daggett, <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" href=\"https:\/\/ilaunion.org\/the-ilas-fight-against-automation-preserving-jobs-securing-national-security-and-defending-the-future-of-work\/\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in a statement earlier this month. The union has proven that the automated cranes at issue \u201care not more productive than traditional equipment operated by human workers,\u201d Daggett added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">In response to ABC News&#8217; request for comment, the ILA shared a statement from Daggett praising Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8220;Throughout my career, I\u2019ve never seen a politician &#8212; let alone the President of the United States &#8212; truly understand the importance of the work our members do every single day,&#8221; Daggett said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What could Trump\u2019s approach to the standoff mean for his 2nd term?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">In his social media post backing the workers and opposing port automation, Trump criticized foreign-owned shipping firms for what he described as penny pinching.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">\u201cFor the great privilege of accessing our markets, these foreign companies should hire our incredible American Workers, instead of laying them off, and sending those profits back to foreign countries,\u201d Trump <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/113642120976193077\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. \u201cIt is time to put AMERICA FIRST!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The framework presents U.S. workers as victims of foreign companies, which he says aim to make use of America\u2019s economic resources at the expense of its citizens. As such, Trump\u2019s intervention in this case favors the ILA in its longstanding fight against automation, Peter Cole, a professor at Western Illinois University who studies the history of dockworkers, told ABC News.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">\u201cThe ILA will really benefit if in fact Trump pushes employers to back off automation,\u201d Cole said, noting that the explanation offered up by Trump reflects a larger political shift in the U.S. against unrestricted global trade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">\u201cPresidents in both main parties have supported more manufacturing domestically,\u201d Cole said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">However, Trump\u2019s opposition to automation risks imposing higher costs on consumers and even some domestic manufacturers, since advances in productivity would help lower supply costs otherwise passed along to buyers at the end of the chain, some experts said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Trump mistakenly claims that foreign shipping companies would bear the cost of forgone automation, just as he inaccurately says that foreign countries would <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Business\/trumps-proposed-tariffs-raise-prices-products-experts\/story?id=115893557\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pay<\/a> the cost of tariffs, David Autor, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who specializes in technological change and the labor force, told ABC News.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">\u201cThe assertion that raising tariffs at our ports will force foreigners to cover these costs is beyond naive,\u201d Autor said. \u201cIt\u2019s simply false.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN\">Autor said the hardship that dockworkers would face if automation were to advance and put many of them out of work. \u201cIt will not be good for the livelihoods of longshoremen and we should not pretend otherwise,\u201d Autor said, adding that the workers should receive compensation or other protections under such circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
