ILWU Caucus meets this week<\/strong><\/p>\n

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union’s caucus will meet\u00a0this week in San Francisco, starting on Monday, to review the tentative agreement reached with the Pacific Maritime Association last month.\u00a0If the Coast Longshore Committee recommends ratification, the tentative contract will be mailed to all ILWU members and they will vote on whether to approve the pact.<\/p>\n

However, the Transport Workers Solidarity Committee, a\u00a0group that has openly criticized ILWU leadership and the proposed deal, will also hold a forum. If\u00a0the caucus vote against approval, the ILWU and PMA must return to the bargaining table. If\u00a0not approved,\u00a0starting renegotiations would cause fears among cargo interests and likely result in more cargo diversions from the West Coast Ports.<\/p>\n
