Excerpts from the Portland Tribune:

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber has brokered a partial deal to end the labor dispute at the shipping terminals at the Port of Portland.

On Thursday the Governor’s Office said that the longstanding work assignment conflict over “refrigerated container” work at Terminal 6 has been resolved. According to the office, work to plug and unplug refrigerated ships at Portland’s container Terminal will now be assigned to workers represented by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.

As part of the agreement, the Port of Portland ensures that no IBEW 48 members will lose work as a result, and that they will be assigned other Port-related duties.
