Cargo work at the Port of Seattle's Harbor Island grinded to a halt Saturday due to a labor action by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
The Pacific Maritime Association said this started Friday with the second and third shifts on a work slowdown. It said it was directed by the union. That brought ground operations at all the marine terminals to a stop, and longshore workers were sent home. On first shift Saturday, Pacific Maritime claimed the union refused to dispatch any longshore workers to container terminals. So Pacific Maritime said it had to shut down Saturday.
