A three-month battle over whether robots will replace jobs at the Port of Los Angeles may be all but over.
Maersk said it would introduce automated cargo carriers made in Poland to its giant APM Terminals at the Port of Los Angeles. Above, cargo is unloaded from a Maersk ship at the terminal.
The first of the 45-foot-high robotic machines, which transfer containers from ships to trucks, are already on their way from a factory in Poland, and scheduled to arrive in late July, the company said.
Maersk contends labor costs must be cut to compete with ports on the East and Gulf coasts. ILWU Local 13 President Ray Familathe recently estimated that 500 daily “job opportunities” for union shift workers could be lost. APM Terminals’ Lagaay said that “is not unrealistic.” to write Garcetti and the City Council “to support the efforts of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.” The measure, sponsored by Supervisor Janice Hahn, who represents the port area, also directed the county’s chief executive to study the economic effect of port automation and report back in 90 days.ILWU officials did not respond to requests for comment.
