The International Longshoremen’s Association broke off talks on a local contract covering work rules and staffing at the Port of New York and New Jersey, clouding prospects for a deal before the ILA’s Feb. 6 contract expiration.
ILA President Harold Daggett and other ILA leaders walked out of the New York-New Jersey negotiations after the NYSA proposed “revolutionary changes” in work practices at the port, ILA spokesman James McNamara said.
