The International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association said in a joint statement Friday that they would engage in negotiations on a long-standing labor dispute with grain terminal operators in the Pacific Northwest.
The statement was included in a news release stating that the two parties are taking a break from negotiations today and Tuesday in order for the ILWU to convene its previously scheduled Longshore Division Caucus in San Francisco. It said negotiations, taking place in San Francisco, would resume Wednesday.
