Judge Bars ILWU From Slowdowns at Portland

From the Journal of Commerce on July 4:

A U.S. District Court judge on Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting the International Longshore and Warehouse Union from engaging in work slowdowns at the Port of Portland’s container terminal.

An agreement announced Tuesday by all of the parties in the dispute clears the way for cargo loading and unloading to take place. The port, terminal operator ICTSI, the ILWU and the IBEW announced the ILWU would work the reefer jobs until a separate legal proceeding before the National Labor Relations Board results in a ruling.
