Mystery Vessel Sister Ship Also Goes on Rocks
A court order bans an AFL officers strike for the Pacific Maritime Association in San Francisco, but PMA and union reps say it will not curb the five day old no sign-on edict. About 75 ships in Pacific Coast ports are affected while Long Beach Los Angeles harbor sees no effect. Officers on articles have not signed for new voyages though they refuse to sign until a 35 percent wage increase is granted, aligning with east coast officers. The stalemate could later affect up to 200 PMA vessels, potentially tying up 90 percent of coastal shipping, though not impacting military cargo ships.
