Third Extension Buys More Time for Labor Negotiations at LA-Long Beach Ports

LA-Long Beach Watchmen Strike Delayed Again as Talks Run to Friday The Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) and the Local 26 branch of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) have agreed to extend their contract through Nov. 20, with additional talks scheduled during that period. The negotiation deadline for a new contract was initially pushed back from Nov. 1 to Nov. 4, before being delayed a second time to Nov. 6.
