Labor Dispute Causes Congestion and Tension at West Coast Ports

Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su is involved in negotiations between the International Longshore & Warehouse Union and Pacific Maritime Association to help broker a deal amid rising tensions at West Coast ports. The calls for the Biden administration to intervene in the situation have been increasing, as billions of dollars in cargo have been held up off ports, container congestion and delays have led to longer service and turnaround times. The negotiations have reached a stalemate over issues including wages and automation, and the involvement of the Biden administration is welcome news, but the on-the-ground situation at ports remains stressed.

Labor Disputes Disrupt West Coast Ports, Biden Urged to Intervene.

The Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) has claimed that coordinated and disruptive work actions led by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) have shut down cargo operations at the Port of Seattle. However, the ILWU denies the claim and says that West Coast ports are open. Unions are seeking a pay increase that reflects workers’ contribution to the ocean shipping industry’s record profits from the pandemic cargo boom. The largest U.S. business group has urged President Joe Biden to intervene immediately and appoint an independent mediator to address the protracted West Coast ports labor dispute.

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."

US Ports Face Shutdowns Amid Labor Dispute

Several thousand union members missed their shifts at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, leading to the closure of several container terminals. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union denied any job action and said workers were celebrating the Good Friday holiday. The Pacific Maritime Association accused the union of coordinating action to withhold labour and effectively shutting down the ports. The two groups have been in labour negotiations since May 2022, and the 22,000 dockworkers on the West Coast have been without a collective bargaining agreement since July 1.

Port worker shortage causes shutdown of major U.S. shipping gateway.

The busiest U.S. ocean trade gateway, the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, have largely shut down due to a shortage of West Coast port workers, including operators needed to load and unload cargo, as a result of a coordinated action by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) to withhold labor as contract talks drag on. The ILWU said the slowdown was due to thousands of union workers attending a monthly membership meeting on Thursday evening and observing the Good Friday holiday the following day.
