WEST COAST : Extension of the longshore contract

Good news as the Pacific Maritime Association and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union have just extended the expiration of the current longshore contract by three years, so it now expires in July 1, 2022.

It covers 29 ports of the West Coast.

Regarding the East Coast & Gulf, the contract with the International Longshoremen’s association (ILA) expires on September 2018 and talks have begun to extend that date as well. Time will tell.
