Southern California dockworkers disrupted cargo activity Friday at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports — major entry points for the country’s imports — after contract talks deteriorated in recent days, causing the ports to shut down
.
The Pacific Maritime Assn., which represents shipping companies and port terminal operators, said the International Longshore and Warehouse Union “is staging concerted and disruptive work actions that have effectively shut down operations” at several terminals in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, Tacoma and Seattle.An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to the Pacific Maritime Assn. as a union. It is an association representing shipping companies and marine terminal operators.
ILWU Local 13, which represents about 12,000 Southern California dockworkers, said its members have “taken it upon themselves to voice their displeasure with the ocean carriers’ and terminal operators’ position.” In April, local dockworkers forced an approximately 24-hour shutdown at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports, exacerbating fears that failure of the high-stakes labor negotiations could bring about a paralyzing strike like the one in 2008.
