Union New Contract * USA - West Coast Ports, Longshore Reportedly Close on
West Coast port operators are optimistic they can get a labor deal in place by the end of this month and avoid any strike or shutdown at the facilities
Los Angeles,CAL,USA -The Wall Street Journal/Transport Topics -20 June 2008: -- The Pacific Maritime Association, which represents cargo carriers and terminal operators in three states, and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union hope to get a deal done soon... ILWU represents about 26,000 dockworkers at 29 West Coast ports, from San Diego up to Bellingham, Wash... The two sides issued a joint release this week saying they had released a tentative agreement on health benefits... In 2002, ports locked out workers for 10 days amid strained contract talks, which produced a snarl in the nation’s supply chain, as much of the imported goods from Asia come to the United States through West Coast ports...
