Talks cut off on June 1 but resumed June 6 in San Francisco as the 13-month-long negotiations crawl toward a contract resolution for some 22,000 West Coast dockworkers at 29 ports. Issues under negotiation include health and other benefits, wages, and the anticipated ramifications of terminal automation.
A spokesman for the International Longshore and Warehouse Union said the union would have no response to the PMA statement on Friday. “It’s been a confusing week, ranging from 14-28 container ships anticipated to be delayed earlier in the week to only three ships anticipated to be delayed as of noon today,” wrote Kip Louttit, executive director of the exchange.
