PMA/ ILWU Labor Negotiation and West Coast Port Update
The negotiation between Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) and International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) are still ongoing.
According to the recent information, the negotiation is now in progress but wages and other important matters did not come to conclude.
Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) requested mediation the dispute between PMA and ILWU but ILWU turned down the request and the hope of the mediation of FMCS seems it went back to square one.
The current situation of the west coast port made no significant improvement;
ILWU have restrained their experienced workers therefore cargo is not being picked up and dropped off properly, which affects the cargo handling operation capacity badly.
Due to this port slowdown and affected congestion in the west coast ports are kept continuing.
Many drayage companies in West Coast area; LA, Tacoma Seattle imposed the congestion charge of $150 up to $300 per container, and this charge tends to go up.
Due to the overflowed jobs to the drayage companies whose job orders filled at least one-week advance, it is very hard to acquire any special care on urgent shipments. Also, USA export containers are also impacted by the frequent vessel delays. .
In spite of their continued negotiation, the final agreement has not agreed yet, and it is still obscure when the final will be made.
We will keep you updated.
