Ports Strike in Los Angeles and Long Beach Ends with Tentative Settlement
Release Date: 12/5/2012
Clerical workers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are expected to return to work after leaders of the 800-member International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63 Office Clerical Unit agreed to a tentative settlement with the Harbor Employers Association after an extended negotiating session. Union members still must ratify the settlement, which ended a work stoppage that crippled two of the nation's busiest ports.
