Car transport services in the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles will return to normal today as it was announced that striking clerical workers at these two United States ports will go back to work, for now. The Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbour Employers' Association announced late Sunday that workers for the local Office of Clerical Unit (OCU) of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union had ceased picketing. According to sources the Office of Clerical Unit gave no reason for the sudden ceasing of picketing that according to some professionals was disrupting automobile transport services in the ports and threatened to totally stop all car shipping in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Apparently this good news has the ports a little wary though and they're are viewing this latest move by the OCU with a grain of salt or two, according to some observers.
This is certainly good news for car transporters in the United States of America that need to use the auto shipping services provided by these two vital US ports. The OCU has twice been condemned by an Area Artibrator who ruled that the OCU is bargaining in bad faith and hopefully this means that the union is double-thinking their situation and the strike and we'll see services in the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles return to normal. It would be nice to see the two parties in this dispute find common ground upon which to stand upon and come to an agreement that would see the clerical workers stay on the job and be happy at the same time. This would be the best news for car movers that use the services of the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to hear in the days ahead in the century of the environment.
