The U.S. West Coast dockworkers union International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the management body Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) have agreed to recess their ongoing talks from July 28 to August 1 and resume contract negotiations on August 4 in San Francisco.
The previous labor contract covering nearly 20,000 longshore workers at 29 West Coast ports expired July 1. While there is no contract extension in place, both parties have pledged to keep cargo moving.
