Terminals at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach remained effectively closed for a second day on Friday after an absence of dockworkers.
Terminals at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach remained effectively closed Friday after an absence of dockworkers at both key U.S. import hubs, raising concerns of renewed tangles in the nation’s distribution network that could lead to shipping delays and bigger disruptions to the economy.
The union representing those workers, the International Longshore & Warehouse Union Local 13, declined to comment. A representative for the union as a whole declined to share information about the state of the negotiations. Months of backups at the ports recently ended, after COVID-related factory shutdowns in Asia clashed with an online shopping boom in the U.S. Dozens of container ships backed up on the water outside ports on the nation’s coasts through 2021 and much of last year, sending shock waves up and down the supply chain and driving up shipping costs.
The Port of Los Angeles, in a statement, said it had been in contact with the union and the terminal operators’ representatives, as well as state and local officials, in an effort to usher a return to regular operations.
