Summary

Discussion around the "East coast port strike ends by Friday?" market centered on conflicting interpretations of whether the strike had officially ended. Participants expressed doubts about the notion that the strike was over, citing official statements from the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and various news sources that described the strike as "paused" or "suspended." Commenters urged others to dispute the resolution, suggesting that the language used by the ILA and news outlets indicated that the strike was not conclusively ended, but rather delayed, with a vote still pending on the agreement.

The ILA's statement referenced a cessation of job action, but did not explicitly declare the strike over, with many considering the strike merely suspended until further negotiations.
Commenters highlighted the importance of understanding the nuances in labor-related agreements, emphasizing that a delayed strike does not equate to an ended strike, thus influencing their betting decisions.

Resolution source is AP.

Who is going to dispute this?

In an election year where already many unions are endorsing Trump, Biden can't force union to end this strike.

Resolution source is ILA, not some random tweet. ILA has agreed to extend the contract and return to work tomorrow https://ilaunion.org/joint-statement-regarding-master-contract/
