From Tuesday’s Journal of Commerce:
The International Longshoremen’s Association and United States Maritime Alliance held a full day of contract negotiations Tuesday and planned to continue their federally mediated bargaining Wednesday.
No details were available on the substance of the negotiations, which are being overseen by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
A 20-member ILA committee and a group representing USMX are scheduled to meet through Thursday in Galloway, N.J. , as they try to work out a deal before their latest extension expires Feb. 6.
