    Talks continue with watchmen at ports of LA and Long Beach

    November 2, 2026 // A potential strike by 250 workers that could affect cargo traffic at the ports of Los Angels and Long Beach has been pushed back after the two sides in the dispute extended their negotiating deadline. The Pacific Maritime Association said in a statement on social media that it had signed an agreement with International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 26 to extend their existing contract through 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4. The contract had been set to expire on Oct. 31, which could have led to a strike as of today (Sunday, Nov. 1).
