Progress at West Coast Ports Despite Continued Problems

A tentative agreement has been reached on the critical issue of chassis maintenance and repair. We have heard that the negotiations are finally moving forward, and we may actually see an agreement in the near future. At the same time, ILWU Local 8 did not work yesterday and Portland, Oregon, suffered terminal shutdowns due to this action.

The Northeast was hit by a huge snowstorm, but the ports of NY and NJ are expected to be up and running by Wednesday morning.

We will keep you posted on all port developments.
