The ports are scheduled to close over the weekend, but will begin operating again on Monday.
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the PMA have been renegotiating an expired labor contract since May. The PMA has accused the ILWU of intentionally slowing down work at the port since October. The ILWU says major changes in the industry, not the union, is causing the ports to operate slower.
"The PMA is playing a dangerous and unnecessary game of brinkmanship by idling vessels for two days in a not-too-disguised effort to intimidate the ILWU membership," said Jennifer Sargent, spokeswoman for the ILWU.http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2015/02/06/west-coast-ports-halt-activity.html
