Strike Threat At California Ports Over, New Concerns For East And Gulf Coasts

Concerns about a strike at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach can finally be put to rest, but there are new ones when it comes to talks involving ports on the other side of the country.

Unions representing workers at the Southern California ports say members voted in favor of a new labor contract last week, following a tentative agreement between them and terminal operators reached in December.

Meanwhile, there may be clouds on the horizon when it comes to labor talks involving East Coast and Gulf Coast ports, despite a tentative deal being reached earlier this month.
