| Title： |  ILWU & PMA Reach Tentative Five-Year Agreement |
From：JESSICA |
| U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez announced Friday night the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and Pacific Maritime Association have reached an agreement on a new five-year contract. Perez said container ports up and down the West Coast will resume working "full bore" on Saturday. The agreement comes after 10 months of negotiations, slowdowns and congestion at West Coast ports that have resulted in dozens of ships sitting at anchor or circling off shore. Details of the agreement have not been released, but Perez said it will include a new arbitration system. Robert McEllrath, ILWU president and chairman of the union's negotiating committee, said there will be a panel of arbitrators. |
