West Coast ports labor update
As was reported previously, the International Longshoremen and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association took a break from talks last Monday and Tuesday while the ILWU attended a two-day division caucus in San Francisco, according to 3PL OHL.
Talks resumed last Wednesday, but another recess is reportedly scheduled this week from Monday, July 28, through Friday, August 1, to allow the ILWU to attend unrelated contract negotiations with grain handlers in the Pacific Northwest.
Since the ILWU and the PMA will take a break this week, it looks like contract talks for 20,000 workers at 29 West Coast ports will inevitably continue into August.
Although ILWU West Coast dockworkers have been working without a contract since July 1, representatives of both the union and the employers have pledged to continue to keep cargo moving through U.S. West Coast ports during the negotiation.
