The Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Employers Association has released the following statement on the status of the contract negotiations with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63 OCU.

"Some media outlets have reported incorrectly that OCU workers at just three harbor employers had failed to ratify the tentative agreements that were reached on December 4, 2012, that ended the workers' seven day ports strike. In fact, the harbor employers were formally notified by the union today that, in voting on Wednesday night, all 16 OCU bargaining units failed to ratify the December 4 tentative agreements."

Both the port of Los Angeles and Long Beach continue to operate normally.
