The Pacific Maritime Association and ILWU Local 26 agreed to extend the current watchmen contract through 20 November 2026 while talks continue. No strike is currently in effect at Los Angeles or Long Beach, but a strike authorisation remains in place if no deal is reached.
Los Angeles and Long Beach are major US export gateways, so a strike would disrupt grain and feed shipments. The extension lowers the immediate risk, but the deadline leaves a possible stoppage risk for later in November.
