The ILWU Local 26 and the Pacific Maritime Association agreed to extend talks on the watchmen contract through November 20. About 250 watchmen could halt eight terminals at Los Angeles and Long Beach if they strike.
This is the third extension, and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service is assisting.
A watchmen strike could disrupt terminals handling much of Long Beach cargo, which would slow US grain and feed exports. The extension lowers the near-term risk to export flows, so the market impact is small for now.
