Union worker strikes halt West Coast port operations.
TL;DR
The Port of Oakland was shut down on Friday due to organized disruptions by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU). The ILWU is negotiating a collective bargaining agreement with the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) that would cover over 22,000 longshore workers at 29 U.S. West Coast ports. The previous contract expired on July 1, 2022. The ILWU 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.
