# Strike at Los Angeles and Long Beach ports postponed until November 20

> The Pacific Maritime Association and ILWU Local 26 extended negotiations until November 20, postponing a possible strike by about 250 security guards at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The affected terminals handle a substantial share of cargo at both ports, and a walkout could also prompt other union workers to honor picket lines.

## Why it matters

Postponing a strike reduces the immediate risk of port delays, but a failure to reach agreement could disrupt a major U.S. container gateway. Any resulting freight delays could affect supply chains, though no specific feed commodities are identified.
