Ongoing Labor Issues Disrupt West Coast Ports

Dockworkers continue to rally for increased pay and benefits, causing port closures and trade delays.
The terminals at the Port of Long Beach, the second busiest port in the U.S.,remain closed impacting international trade.
Retailers and shippers are being forced to divert cargo to ports on the East and Gulf coasts due to persistent disruptions.
Truckers and terminal operators at ports in Los Angeles and Seattle also report issues with labor slowdowns and shift closures.
If a resolution to the labor disputes is not reached promptly, global supply chains will face significant consequences.
