洛杉矶与长滩港守望员谈判延期至11月20日，约250名守望员罢工警报解除
加利福尼亚州洛杉矶消息：洛杉矶与长滩两港的雇主团体太平洋海事协会与国际码头与仓库工会 26 分会宣布，双方把合同谈判截止期延长至 11 月 20 日，避免了约 250 名海事守望员可能发起的罢工。太平洋海事协会 11 月 6 日（周五）表示，双方已安排更多谈判场次，继续就新合同进行协商。
守望员约占两港工人的 2%，负责码头安全巡查与货物监护；雇主团体此前警告，一旦罢工，将冲击长滩港约 85% 与洛杉矶港约 33% 的码头货运。两港是全美最繁忙的集装箱港综合体，9 月货量双双创下历史纪录，其中包括假日季零售商品、人工智能数据中心建设设备与汽车零部件。
守望员合同谈判此前陷入僵局，罢工威胁一度令零售商与进口商担忧假日季供应链受扰；延期决定使两港在感恩节前的货运高峰期得以维持正常运转。

LA and Long Beach Port Watchmen Extend Contract Talks to November 20, Averting a Strike by About 250 Workers
LOS ANGELES, California — The Pacific Maritime Association, the employer group for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 26 have extended their contract-negotiation deadline to November 20, averting a possible strike by about 250 marine watchmen. The association said on Friday, November 6, that the two sides had scheduled additional bargaining sessions to keep negotiating a new contract.
Watchmen make up about 2% of the workforce at the two ports and are responsible for terminal security patrols and cargo monitoring. The employer group had warned that a strike would affect about 85% of cargo operations at Long Beach and about 33% at Los Angeles. The twin ports form the busiest container complex in the United States; both set cargo records in September, handling holiday-season retail goods, equipment for artificial-intelligence data centers and auto parts, among other freight.
Talks had previously stalled, and the strike threat had raised concerns among retailers and importers about holiday supply chains. The extension keeps both ports operating normally through the pre-Thanksgiving cargo peak.
