‘Cargo is flowing’ despite union disruptions, Port of LA chief says

Containerised cargo is moving through the Port of Los Angeles despite efforts by unionised dockworkers to disrupt operations while fighting for higher wages from terminal employers and ocean carriers, according to the port’s executive director.

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and employers in the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) have been negotiating a new labour contract since May 2022 to replace one that expired in July of that year.
