US port workers and operators reach deal to end East Coast strike immediately

Tentative deal includes a 62% wage hike over six years - sources
Strike affected 36 ports, causing backlog of anchored ships
Biden applauds "critical progress towards a strong contract"

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - U.S. dock workers and port operators reached a tentative deal that will immediately end a crippling three-day strike that has shut down shipping on the U.S. East Coast and Gulf Coast, the two sides said Thursday.
The tentative agreement is for a wage hike of around 62% over six years, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, including a worker on the picket line who heard the announcement. That would raise average wages to about $63 an hour from $39 an hour over the life of the contract.

Only a tentative agreement to give them time to work out the details. Meanwhile, workers return to their jobs tomorrow. Negotiation/Finalization to be done by January 15, 2025.

What will people do with all that toilet paper?
