According to the parties involved in the negotiations, only a "few" things are left to settle in the negotiations with the shipping clerks in California: "minor" things like wages and benefits. The shipping clerks could have gone on strike as of this past Monday, but they are still at the negotiating table.
If they do walk, the longshoremen say they will honor the shipping clerks' picket line, which means that nothing will get shipped out of CA (40% of all goods get shipped into and out of LA and Long Beach ports) for the duration of a strike.
Better make that Costco run for rice, toilet paper, SPAM and sardines before everyone else does---just in case!
