So negotiations are finally over and the ILWU last week approved the proposed contract and agreed to send it to all their members for voting. The ports are back to normal but shippers were understandably tense as the ILWU staged a number of actions designed to slow down work at the ports and apply pressure to the PMA to complete a deal. We’re interested to hear your take on the situation and whether you plan to continue utilizing LA-Long Beach for your Trans-Pacific cargo. With that in mind, please sound off in our poll below.

What’s your opinion of LA-Long Beach ports post-ILWU negotiations?
LA-Long Beach rules! Best port complex in the U.S.

Relieved that negotiations are over, we’ll still use LA-Long Beach

No choice but to use LA-Long Beach

ILWU? Negotiations? What are you talking about?

Increasingly uncompetitive, starting to look for alternatives.

We already avoid the West Coast as much as possible.

Can you say Prince Rupert and All-Water-East-Coast?
