标题： Statement from President Joe Biden on the Negotiations Between USMX and the International Longshoremen’s Association 来源： www.whitehouse.gov 网址： https://reurl.cc/NlLZXk 内文： Collective bargaining is the best way for workers to get the pay and benefits they deserve. I have urged USMX, which represents a group of foreign-owned carriers, to come to the table and present a fair offer to the workers of the International Longshoremen’s Association that ensures they are paid appropriately in line with their invaluable contributions. Ocean carriers have made record profits since the pandemic and in some cases profits grew in excess of 800 percent compared to their profits prior to the pandemic. Executive compensation has grown in line with those profits and profits have been returned to shareholders at record rates. It’s only fair that workers, who put themselves at risk during the pandemic to keep ports open, see a meaningful increase in their wages as well. As our nation climbs out of the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, dockworkers will play an essential role in getting communities the resources they need. Now is not the time for ocean carriers to refuse to negotiate a fair wage for these essential workers while raking in record profits. My Administration will be monitoring for any price gouging activity that benefits foreign ocean carriers, including those on the USMX board. It is time for USMX to negotiate a fair contract with the longshoremen that reflects the substantial contribution they’ve been making to our economic comeback. <翻译> 2024年10月1日 美国总统拜登关於USMX与国际码头工人协会（International Longshoremen’s Association）谈判的声明 新闻简报室 声明与发布 集体谈判是工人获得应得薪酬和福利的最佳方式。我已敦促代表一群外资船公司的USMX坐 上谈判桌，向国际码头工人协会的工人提出一个公平的报价，确保他们的薪酬符合他们无 价的贡献。自疫情以来，海运公司取得了创纪录的利润，有些公司的利润与疫情前相比增 长了超过800%。高管薪酬也随着这些利润增长，并以创纪录的速度回馈股东。对於在疫情 期间冒着风险维持港口开放的工人来说，看到工资的实质性增长是公平的。 随着我们国家从飓风海伦的影响中恢复过来，码头工人在为社区提供所需资源的过程中将 发挥重要作用。现在绝不是海运公司拒绝为这些基本工人谈判公平薪酬的时候，尤其是在 它们赚取创纪录利润的情况下。我们的政府将密切关注任何可能让外资海运公司，特别是 USMX董事会上的公司，从中获利的价格操纵行为。 是时候让USMX与码头工人达成一份公平的合同，这应反映出他们为我们经济复苏所做的巨 大贡献。 心得: 看来总统拜登选择了站在工人的这一方 把责任直接归咎於 USMX 这是一场与外国公司进行的斗争，这些公司没有与美国工人公平地分享利润。 看来也不会动用法律停止罢工 如果双方都不让步, 或许罢工不会如现在很多人预期的一周 也许是两周或是更久 问题是: USMX能接受工人要求的反自动化跟加薪77%吗 ? --
