# Los Angeles and Long Beach port labour talks extended to 20 November

> The Pacific Maritime Association and ILWU Local 26 extended their contract for about 250 terminal security workers through 20 November 2026, with no strike date announced. Ports continue to handle cargo, but high import volumes are already lengthening rail-bound container waits.

## Why it matters

A strike at terminals handling most Long Beach cargo could slow gate access and export container deliveries, adding logistics costs for US agricultural exporters. The extension lowers near-term disruption risk, so the price effect is currently limited.
