“Cargo operations in the ports continue as longshore workers remain on the job,” the ILWU said in a Friday press release, though “ had taken it upon themselves to voice their displeasure with the ocean carriers’ and terminal operators’ position.” A spokesperson for the Port of Los Angeles, meanwhile, said there were reports up and down the coast of labor shortages at some terminals.
Ocean carriers and terminal operators, the release continued, “made approximately $500 billion in net profit during the past two years as this essential workforce toiled around the clock to ensure delivery of the nation’s goods through a global pandemic.”
