Longshoremen went back to work at State Pier on Thursday, ending a three-day strike against Danish energy company Ørsted despite an unresolved dispute about work jurisdiction at the offshore wind hub. As a result, crews at State Pier on Friday were expected to continue work loading the 330-foot long wind turbine blades and accompanying wind turbine components onto an awaiting barge headed to the waters of Long Island, where Ørsted’s South Fork Wind project is located. About 30 longshoremen are performing work at State Pier side-by-side with contracted union members from the building trades. The issues that led to the strike and protests outside the gates of State Pier earlier this week, however, remain unresolved.
