As labor woes continue to impact West Coast ports, employers at the ports say they will suspend operations for several days over the long Presidents’ Day weekend.
Employers at West Coast shipping ports said Wednesday they were suspending operations for several days, the latest move in a contentious labor dispute with the union representing dockworkers.
The Pacific Maritime Association said it will halt loading and unloading at the ports, including busy operations at Long Beach and Los Angeles, on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
The management association said it was taking the action because it does not want to pay higher premium wages for weekend and holiday operations while it contends workers, represented by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, are conducting a work slowdown.
