The announcement by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union covers some 20,000 workers at all 29 U.S West Coast ports.
“With this action in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, we send a strong message that we unequivocally condemn the Russian invasion,” said ILWU International President Willie Adams.
The overwhelming amount of incoming cargo at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach comes from Asia. The amount of cargo arriving from Russia is not a lot, said Port of Long Beach Executive Director Mario Cordero. He said out of 9.4 million containers that arrived through the port in 2021, only 11,497 were imports from Russia.
“In the scope of things,” he said Monday, Feb. 28, at the regular board meeting, “that’s not a very big number.”
