Ports see some disruptions as talks between West Coast longshore workers and employers seem to have sputtered after more than a year.
Two terminals at the Port of Long Beach and one at the Port of Los Angeles were shuttered during the day shifts on Monday, June 5, as talks between West Coast longshore workers and the Pacific Maritime Association appeared to sputter after more than a year.
A written statement from Port of Long Beach Executive Director Mario Cordero said the port remains operational. Reports on Friday that talks had broken down, said ILWU International President Willie Adams, were false. “Union leaders are implementing many familiar disruption tactics from their job action playbook,” PMA added, “including refusing to dispatch workers to marine terminals, slowing operations, and making unfounded health and safety claims.”
Labor shortages that effectively shut Oakland’s international terminals on Friday, meanwhile, ppeared to be resolved on Monday and the terminals “are operational,” Director of Communications Robert Bernardo said in an email.
