The Port of Vancouver is poised to sign a new lease agreement with Subaru of America that will guarantee revenue and jobs for the next 10 years. … “Long-term contracts like this give us a sense of security and stability, which is so important in these economic times,” said Brad Clark, president of ILWU Local 4. “And it shows once again that the port is doing it’s job protecting the community and keeping jobs here.” One incoming shipment of Subarus puts between 25 and 75 longshoreman to work for the day, depending on the number of cars onboard, said Clark. … More than 58,000 Subarus were received at the port in 2008.
