« Back | LOS ANGELES/LONG BEACH WATERFRONT LABOR NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE
Date: Wed, Jul 7th, 2010Why is the OCU threatening to shut-down the ports?
July 7, 2010
THE FACTS:
Employers have offered:
- Wages as good as the ILWU
- Up to 61 days paid time off
- Healthcare as good as the ILWU
- No lay-offs
- Guaranteed work-week
- No outsourcing (no transfer of jobs or work)
The OCU want to:
- Turn the clock back and eliminate technology use
- Deny employers ability to hire temporary staff as needed
THE RISK:
The continuing strike and any further disruption by the OCU will chase cargo away from L.A./Long Beach and put good ILWU jobs at risk.
The harbor community, Southern California, and the rest of America cannot afford a port shut-down!
