Local 13 goes public asking PMA to place orders, claiming the Union will fill them, while PMA issues News release asking Local to stop refusing to fill crane driver orders.

Local 13 took to the news cameras today to request PMA place orders and the Union will fill them, in response to PMA’s announcement that they only plan to order 1 gang per ship.

 

PMA responded by issuing the following press release. PMA-Press-Release-01-02-2015 & PMA-Fact-Sheet-on-ILWU-Slowdowns-01-02-2015

Stop talking and start negotiating. Both sides need to stop chasing their tails, and work out a contract.
