Prior to the start of talks in May, port employers had said continuing to offer longshore workers with \u201cworld-class wages and benefits\u201d was one of five principles guiding the PMA in contract talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other principles include: avoiding work disruptions; prioritizing safety and training; \u201cmodernizing\u201d terminals through densification and automation; and preparing to meet \u201cstringent\u201d environmental regulations, according to the PMA website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two parties began negotiating a new master contract in May 2022. Longshore workers and port terminals have been operating without an active contract since the old working agreement expired last July. Contract negotiations cover more than 22,000 longshore workers at 29 ports across the U.S. West Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ILWU reiterated \u201ctalks are continuing on an ongoing basis until an agreement is reached,\u201d in its Thursday morning press release. The union had said the two sides were \u201chopeful of reaching a deal soon\u201d in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"138\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bocintl.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/321321321-1-1024x138.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2762 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bocintl.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/321321321-1-1024x138.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bocintl.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/321321321-1-300x40.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bocintl.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/321321321-1-768x103.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bocintl.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/321321321-1-1536x207.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.bocintl.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/321321321-1-2048x276.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.bocintl.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/321321321-1-280x38.png 280w, https:\/\/www.bocintl.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/321321321-1-1320x178.png 1320w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/138;\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Coast port labor talks ILWU, PMA reach tentative deal on \u2018certain key issues\u2019 Excerpted from SupplyChainDive.com Contract talks remain ongoing as the two sides near the one-year mark since negotiations began.
