Busy Ports Of LA And Long Beach Are Effectively Shut Down Because of “Worker Shortages”
Unions representing workers at the two ports are in talks for a new contract.
The ILWU Local 13 withheld workers from their shifts starting Thursday evening, according to the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents shipping employers on the West Coast.
"The action by the Union has effectively shut down the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach - the largest gateway for maritime trade in the United States," the PMA said.
The union, however, released a statement making no mention of any formal work action.
