Ngokwengxelo ye-CNBC, amachweba ngakunxweme olusentshona ye-United States ajongene nokuvalwa ngenxa yokungabonisi mboniso wabasebenzi emva kokuba uthethathethwano nolawulo lwezibuko aluphumelelanga. Izibuko lase-Oakland, lelinye lawona mazibuko axakekileyo e-United States, liyekile ukusebenza ngolwesiHlanu ekuseni ngenxa yokunqongophala kwabasebenzi be-dock, kwaye ukumiswa komsebenzi kulindeleke ukuba kwandiswe ubuncinci ukuya kutsho ngoMgqibelo. Umthombo ongaphakathi uxelele i-CNBC ukuba ukumiswa kunokutyhutyha kuNxweme oluseNtshona ngenxa yoqhanqalazo malunga nothethathethwano ngemivuzo phakathi kwabasebenzi abangonelanga.

“NgoLwesihlanu kutshintsha kwangoko, iitheminali ezimbini ezinkulu zaselwandle zase-Oakland Port – i-SSA terminal kunye ne-TraPac – bezisele zivaliwe,” utshilo u-Robert Bernardo, isithethi seZibuko lase-Oakland. Nangona ingelogwayimbo olusesikweni, inyathelo elithatyathwe ngabasebenzi, lokwala ukuya emsebenzini, kulindeleke ukuba liphazamise ukusebenza kwamanye amazibuko aseWest Coast.

Iingxelo zibonisa ukuba i-hub yase-Los Angeles iphinde yamisa ukusebenza, kuquka i-Fenix ​​Marine kunye ne-APL terminals, kunye ne-Port of Hueneme. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, imeko ayizinzanga, abaqhubi belori eLos Angeles bajikiswa.

Ukungavisisani kuLawulo lwezaBasebenzi kuyanda phakathi kothethathethwano lwekhontrakthi

I-International Longshore kunye ne-Warehouse Union (ILWU), i-union emele abasebenzi, ikhuphe isitatimende esibuhlungu ngoJuni 2 sigxeka ukuziphatha kwabathwali beenqanawa kunye nabaqhubi be-terminal. I-Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), emele aba bathwali kunye nabaqhubi kwiingxoxo, baphinde baphindise kwi-Twitter, betyhola i-ILWU yokuphazamisa imisebenzi kumachweba amaninzi ukusuka eSouth California ukuya eWashington ngokusebenzisa "ukulungelelaniswa" kwesenzo.

I-ILWU Local 13, emele abasebenzi abamalunga ne-12,000 eSouthern California, yagxeka kabukhali abathuthi beenqanawa kunye nabaqhubi be-terminal “ngokungahloniphi iimfuno ezisisiseko zempilo kunye nokhuseleko lwabasebenzi.” Isiteyitimenti asikhange sicacise iinkcukacha zempikiswano. Iphinde yaqaqambisa ingeniso yomoya yabathwali kunye nabasebenzi abayenzileyo ngexesha lo bhubhani, “obeza ngeendleko ezinkulu kubasebenzi basezikhunjini nakwiintsapho zabo.”

Uthethathethwano phakathi kwe-ILWU kunye ne-PMA, oluqale ngomhla we-10 kuMeyi, 2022, luyaqhuba ukuze kufikelelwe kwisivumelwano esiya kubandakanya abasebenzi basezibukweni abangaphezu kwama-22,000 kumazibuko angama-29 kuNxweme oluseNtshona. Isivumelwano sangaphambili siphelelwe nge-1 kaJulayi, 2022.

Ngeli xesha, i-PMA, emele abaphathi bezibuko, yatyhola imanyano ngokubandakanyeka kuqhankqalazo “olulungelelanisiweyo noluphazamisayo” olwathi lwavala ngokufanelekileyo ukusebenza kwiitheminali ezininzi zaseLos Angeles kunye neLong Beach kwaye yade yachaphazela imisebenzi ukuya kuthi ga emantla eSeattle. Nangona kunjalo, ingxelo ye-ILWU icebisa ukuba abasebenzi basezibukweni basesemsebenzini kwaye imisebenzi yemithwalo iyaqhubeka.

Umlawuli olawulayo wePort of Long Beach, uMario Cordero, uqinisekise ukuba iitheminali zeekhonteyina kwizibuko zihlala zivulekile. “Zonke iitheminali zeekhonteyina kwiPort of Long Beach zivuliwe. Njengoko sibeka esweni umsebenzi we-terminal, sibongoza i-PMA kunye ne-ILWU ukuba iqhubeke uthethathethwano ngokunyaniseka ukuze kufikelelwe kwisivumelwano esinobulungisa. "

Isiteyitimenti se-ILWU asikhange siyichaze ngokuthe ngqo imivuzo, kodwa sibhekiselele "kwiimfuno ezisisiseko," kubandakanya impilo kunye nokhuseleko, kunye ne-500 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi kwingeniso eyenziwe ngabathuthi beenqanawa kunye nabaqhubi beeterminal kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo.

"Naziphi na iingxelo zokuqhawuka kothethathethwano azichanekanga," utshilo uMongameli we-ILWU uWillie Adams. “Sisebenza nzima kuyo, kodwa kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuba abasebenzi base-West Coast bagcina uqoqosho luqhuba ngexesha lobhubhane kwaye bahlawula ngobomi babo. Asiyi kuyamkela iphakheji yezoqoqosho esilelayo ukuqaphela iinzame zobugorha kunye nokuzincama kwamalungu e-ILWU athe enze inzuzo erekhodiweyo kwishishini lokuhambisa ngenqanawa.

Ukumiswa komsebenzi wokugqibela kwizibuko lase-Oakland kwenzeka ekuqaleni kukaNovemba, xa amakhulu abasebenzi arhoxayo ngenxa yengxabano yemivuzo. Ukumiswa kwayo nayiphi na imisebenzi yetheminali yeekhonteyina ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kubangela impembelelo yedomino, okuchaphazela abaqhubi belori ukuchola nokuwisa imithwalo.

Zingaphezu kwama-2,100 iilori ezidlula kwizikhululo zezibuko laseOakland suku ngalunye, kodwa ngenxa yokunqongophala kwabasebenzi, kuqikelelwa ukuba akukho zilori ziya kudlula ngoMgqibelo.
