US' ILWU slams tariffs as 'economic war on workers' amid tariff war
The ILWU has strongly condemned the US tariffs on Chinese imports—now at 145 per cent—calling them an economic assault on working families. It warned of job losses, rising costs, and worsening inequality. Highlighting Ocean Network Express cancelling a shipping route and surging construction costs, the union argued tariffs do little to balance trade but instead burden consumers.
