US West Coast Ports Reach Labour Deal

Dear Customer,

 

Please find excerpt pulled from an article published by the American Shipper.

 

 

“Late Wednesday night, the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), representing the terminals, and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), representing workers, announced a tentative agreement on a new six-year contract.

 

No details were released, and the agreement is still subject to ratification by both parties.

 

Acting Labour Secretary Julie Su had flown to San Francisco to meet with the parties on Monday and “played a key role” in “reaching the agreement”, according to the ILWU and PMA.

 

PMA President James McKenna said the new contract agreement “recognizes the heroic efforts and personal sacrifices of the ILWU workforce in keeping our ports operating (during the pandemic and supply chain crisis).”

 

ILWU President Willie Adams said the union will now “turn our full attention back to the operation of the West Coast ports.”

 

 

Sincerely,
