East Coast dockworkers ended their strike after reaching a “tentative agreement on wages” with the United States Maritime Alliance, the International Longshoremen’s Association and USMX said in a joint statement Thursday. The two sides have extended their current contract and will keep negotiating until Jan. 15 to finalize a new one.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Saturday that the Biden administration has no plans to intervene to stop a dockworker strike. He also told reporters lawmakers need to “get practical” in their farm bill negotiations.
