美国农产品价格受到港口瘫痪的威胁

　　US – Union tensions have halted meat exports from west coast seaports because of a struggle over worker contracts, with major implications for beef, chicken and pork.Nine months of stalemate has seen the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), a negotiation and administration group, lock horns with the International Longshoreman and Warehouse Union (ILWU), a worker representative. Union action has halted an average of 75 cranes each day, which the PMA attributed to the stalling of tens of thousands of crates. In California, crane workers have fallen 67 per cent.

　　美国——联盟的紧张局势已经使从西海岸港口出口肉类的工作暂停，因为工人合同上的矛盾 ,对牛肉、鸡肉和猪肉都产生了重大影响。9个月的僵局使太平洋海事协会(PMA)、谈判和管理小组与国际码头和仓储工会联盟(ILWU),的工人代表争论不休。联盟行动已经停止每天平均75台起重机的工作，太平洋海事协会归因于成千上万的集装箱的滞留。在加州,起重机工人减少了67%。
