West Coast longshore talks continue as contract nears expiry
San Francisco AP reports the West Coast longshore contract expires today with no strike anticipated. Bargaining proceeds amid history of a 135 day shutdown in the 1940s and ongoing disputes over equal work sharing and the right to full-time “steady men.” ILWU leadership notes pay and job protections, while Local 18 vetoes and local votes shape the accord.

The Supreme Court limited Border Patrol power to stop and search vehicles at fixed border checkpoints and on back roads near the Mexican border.

CBO sees inflation to accelerate with oil price rise
The Congressional Budget Office forecast a rebound in inflation over the next 18 months as oil prices climb, with inflation rates ranging from 6.3 to 8.7 percent by year end 1976. Unemployment is seen at 7.4 to 7.2 percent, while recovery remains sluggish and policy actions by Congress and the Fed could boost jobs but lift prices.
