BOSTON - Dockworkers have suspended their three-day strike at 14 ports from Massachusetts to Texas and they'll get back to work Friday.

Conley Terminal, the main cargo port in South Boston, will re-open Friday morning, according to Massport. It had been closed since 12:01 a.m. Tuesday when the International Longshoremen's Association's six-year contract with the United States Maritime Alliance ended.

About 300 dockworkers walked off the job in Boston. The union has been calling for better pay and a stop to automation replacing jobs.
