WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Rep. Grace F. Napolitano (CA-38) released the following statement on the developing strike at the Port of Los Angeles by clerical workers of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 63’s office:
Grace Napolitano, CA-38“Having been a secretary myself, I know very well the concerns of clerical workers including safety, fair wages, and benefits for their families. We must continue to protect these jobs from being shipped overseas while ensuring fair treatment of those who have helped the nation’s economy through their hard work.”
Napolitano is a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives.
800 workers at Local 63’s Office Clerical Unit (63-OCU) have tried to negotiate an agreement for more than two years. The strike began yesterday at Pier 400 in the Port of Los Angeles.
SAN PEDRO, CA — In response to the developing strike action taken by workers of ILWU Local 63’s Office Clerical Unit, Congresswoman Janice Hahn released the following statement:
Congresswoman Janice Hahn represents California’s 36th District.“I stand in solidarity with the hard working clerical workers, most of whom are women, of the ILWU Local 63’s Office Clerical Unit who are striking today to prevent their jobs from being sent overseas. These workers have been bargaining in good faith for over two years and I urge a fair resolution that keeps these good paying jobs at the Port of Los Angeles where they belong. As co-founder and co-chair of the bi-partisan Congressional PORTS Caucus, I understand that no one wins when work stops at America’s Port.”
