Labor turmoil continues at the Port of Portland as longshoreman refused to cross a picket line established by Central American port workers.
The container terminal at the Port of Portland is operated by ICTSI Oregon, Inc., subsidiary of a Philippines-based company that operates a port in Honduras that has had a labor-management dispute.
Union members from Honduras established a picket line in Portland on Tuesday and local longshoremen honored it.
An International Longshore & Warehouse Union spokeswoman says longshoremen have a contractual right to not cross picket lines.
