Portland Port Woes

by | Oct 22, 2015 | News

We’ve covered in detail the immense blow to the Oregon economy caused by the actions of the ILWU at Terminal 6 in Portland. Recently the NLRB charged the union with continual violations of federal laws, and ordered the union to cease and desist from work stoppages and slowdowns. Prior to the work actions by the ILWU, the port handled between 10,000 and 12,000 containers per month. The work actions caused the two major shippers to pull out of the port, and in August  the port handled only 840 containers. A convincing economic argument for unions… If the ILWU appeals and secures further court action, the potential financial cost would continue to mount, as the port operator is suing for millions of dollars in damages.
