摘　　要：虽然美国西海岸港口劳资谈判取得新进展,但零售商表示,在PMA和ILWU达成协议之前,他们将继续尽可能地避免选择西海岸港口。美国西海岸码头工人和港口雇主在今年2月初围绕新合同内容恢复谈判,此前他们同意暂时搁置涉及西雅图港5号码头有争议的管辖权问题,该问题已使谈判陷入停滞达9个月之久。West Coast dockworkers and marine terminal employers resumed negotiations in early Februaryon a new contract after agreeing to set aside, for the time being, a controversial jurisdictionalissue involving Terminal 5 in Seattle that has kept talks at a standstill for nine months. Severalsources close to the negotiations between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union(ILWU) and the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) told the Journal of Commerce the two sidesdiscussed terminal automation, health and safety, and wages, issues that have received littleattention since the coastwide contract negotiations began last May 10. The PMA and ILWU didnot respond to emails seeking comment. The fact negotiators are discussing issues beyond theT-5 jurisdictional dispute between the ILWU and the International Association of Machinists andAerospace Workers (IAM) is considered a major development. The dispute is in the hands of theNational Labor Relations Board (NLRB), although an IAM source said it’s not known when theNLRB might rule. The resumption of negotiations can also be viewed as a case of both sidesfeeling external pressure to get a deal done, especially with recent talk of bringing in Secretaryof Labor Marty Walsh to oversee the talks. Potentially complicating matters further, Walsh isreportedly leaving his post to head the players union of the National Hockey League, accordingto several media outlets.
