West Coast ports shut down as labor dispute heats up

“We want to go to work, and they’re blaming us,” said union president Robert McEllrath in a message to his members late Wednesday. He said the shutdown is a management tactic to try to divide the union. “Nobody divides the ILWU,” he vowed.

McEllrath said the union has been waiting five days for management to return to the bargaining table, and that talks are set to resume on Thursday.
