In fact, the brutal irony of the ILWU work slowdowns, and the PMA\u2019s response of restricting night and weekend work, is that these actions compounded problems that were already occurring anyway because of the arrival of big ships operated by expanded carrier alliances.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On the\u00a0Port of Oakland <a href=\"http:\/\/www.portofoakland.com\/maritime\/operational_status.aspx\">website<\/a> and\u00a0in addition the local union work stoppages over the weekend, it\u00a0 stated\u00a0that it will take Oakland and other West Coast ports six to eight weeks to recover from the cargo backlog.
