The NLRB Once Again Declares the ILWU Guilty of Serious Federal Labor Law Violations at Portland’s Terminal 6
This article has been supplied.
Company Announcement - For the second time in ten weeks, the National Labor Relations Board has affirmed the decision of an administrative law judge that the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU International) and ILWU Local 8 (Local 8) violated federal labor law by engaging in coercive activity directed against ICTSI Oregon, Inc. at Terminal 6 at the Port of Portland. The NLRB concluded that, between September 2012 and June 2013, ILWU members worked in a deliberately slow manner and otherwise interfered with productivity at Terminal 6 and that the ILWU International and Local 8 were responsible for this illegal conduct.
According to Elvis Ganda, President and CEO of ICTSI Oregon, “The importance of this ruling should not be underestimated. Once again, the NLRB, a neutral federal agency charged with enforcing the nation’s labor laws, has found that the ILWU’s slowdowns and other efforts to interfere with production at Terminal 6 were illegal. It is time for the ILWU to accept the validity of the NLRB’s decisions and to work in a constructive manner with both ICTSI Oregon and the Port of Portland to get Terminal 6 back to full productivity, which is critical to our region’s economy.”
The NLRB’s order, which affirms the decision of Administrative Law Judge Jeffrey D. Wedekind, can be found athttps://www.nlrb.gov/case/19-CC-100903. Alternatively, a copy of the decision can be obtained from the Executive Secretary, National Labor Relations Board, 1015 Half Street, S.E., Washington, D.C. 20570, or by calling 202-273-1940.
