Biden faces tough decision between labor and economy amidst dockworker talks.

President Joe Biden may have to intervene in a labor dispute involving the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association, which could cause major harm to the country's supply chains. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has urged Biden to appoint an independent mediator to prevent a larger economic catastrophe. If Biden intervenes, he risks alienating his pro-labor base or imperiling the health of the economy. Biden is allowed to act under the Taft-Hartley Act, which empowers presidents to intervene in strikes that could create a national emergency.

Labor turmoil shuts down largest terminal at Long Beach port.

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.

Labor disputes lead to shutdowns at major western ports.

Operations at some marine terminals at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach were "effectively shut down" following staged concerted and disruptive work actions from the union representing West Coast dockworkers amid ongoing labor negotiations with the Pacific Maritime Association. The two parties have been negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement, which would cover more than 22,000 longshore workers at 29 U.S. West Coast ports. The dockworkers' union stated it is "committed to bargaining a contract that is fair and equitable," including wages and benefits that "reflect the dedication of the ILWU workforce and its contributions to the shipping industry's success."
