摘要

In July a six-year contract covering 20,000 dockworkers at 29 U.S. West Coast ports expired. Since then, shippers and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union have been locked in negotiations over how many jobs will be preserved as ports continue to automate loading and other issues. A fruitless round of meetings in early November has been followed by work slowdowns that have cut container traffic by as much as half at some ports. Retailers anxious about imported toys and other gift items arriving in time for Christmas have repeatedly asked President Obama to appoint a mediator to sort out the dispute. Now exporters are chiming in, too. On Nov. 17 a coalition of 61 agricultural shippers sent the White House a letter asking Obama to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act to keep ports running in the event of a strike or an owner lockout. The last time that happened was in 2002, when another contract dispute between the West Coast ports and longshoremen triggered a lockout that went on for 11 days before President George W. Bush used the law to end it. "The current disruption at the ports has already caused millions of dollars in economic injury at precisely the busiest time for ports," the letter said.
