West Coast Dockworkers Secure 6-Year Labor Contract

Dockworkers on the U.S. West Coast have ratified a new six-year labor contract with port employers represented by the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA). The agreement, retroactive from July 1, 2022, covers workers at all 29 West Coast ports and includes job protection, improved wages, pensions, and safety measures for approximately 20,000 workers. The contract, approved by both the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and PMA, brings an end to over a year of uncertainty and ensures the continued efficiency and competitiveness of West Coast ports.

Labor negotiations cause chaos at West Coast ports.

Ongoing labor negotiations and service disruptions at West Coast ports, particularly the major California hubs at the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, have raised concerns about supply chain woes hitting the US economy during the peak shipping season. The US Chamber of Commerce has sent a letter to President Joe Biden warning about "premeditated and disruptive service actions" that are slowing operations at several major West Coast ports during ongoing contract negotiations between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA).

ILWU's Coordinated Action Shuts Down LA and Long Beach Ports.

The Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) has accused the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) of a coordinated action to withhold labor, leading to a shortage of West Coast port workers and the shutdown of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. However, the ILWU said the slowdown was due to a monthly membership meeting and the Good Friday holiday. The labor dispute has forced major retailers to shift cargo to East and Gulf Coast ports to avoid disruptions. The ILWU and PMA have recently reached a tentative agreement on key negotiation sticking points.
