> A strike by about 250 ILWU Local 26 security guards at Los Angeles and Long Beach, originally set for October 30, has been deferred until Wednesday November 4 at 17:00 Pacific while talks continue with federal mediators. The PMA says the two ports handle a large share of total cargo, and ILWU solidarity action could follow.
