Labor turmoil shuts down largest terminal at Long Beach port.

TL;DR Summary
The largest terminal operator at the Port of Long Beach, California, Total Terminals International (TTI), will close for both the day and night shifts on Monday due to an unofficial dispute over wages, safety, automation, and pension benefits. The Harbor Trucking Association warns that the closure will worsen congestion, and the ripple effect of moderate stoppages will push the industry further back in picking up containers. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union has been accused of "red tagging" equipment for safety checks, removing it from service.
