太平洋海事协会再次呼吁对西海岸沿岸谈判的联邦调解

PMA renews call for Federal mediation in West Coast Longshore negotiations

The Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), which represents employers at America’s 29 West Coast ports, has released the following statement regarding its ongoing contract negotiations with the International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU):

"The ILWU’s press release today underscores the need for federal mediation in these negotiations. Unfortunately, the characterization that the PMA and ILWU have only a ‘few issues’ left to resolve is inaccurate. Significant issues remain unresolved, including wages, pensions, jurisdiction and work rules. Further, the ILWU’s escalating rhetoric on congestion is nothing more than a smokescreen for its slowdown activities.

太平洋海事协会再次呼吁对西海岸沿岸谈判的联邦调解

    代表了美国西海岸29个港口雇主的太平洋海事协会（PMA)已经发布了有关其与国际沿岸和仓库联盟（ILWU)正在进行的合同谈判声明：

    "ILWU今天发布的新闻稿强调，这些谈判需要联邦调解。不幸的是，表面上PMA和ILWU仅有‘几个问题’未解决是不准确的。关键问题仍未解决，包括工资、养老金、管辖权和工作规则。此外，ILWU在拥堵问题上不断升级的言辞无非是对其经济放缓的一枚烟雾弹。
