PORT OF LOS ANGELES/LONG BEACH – As more than 45 ships loaded with a half million containers of cargo are stranded at sea due to the bankruptcy of one of the world’s biggest container-shipping companies, South Korea’s Hanjin Shipping Co, the fate of the crew aboard those ships, and the livelihood of the men and women who handle that cargo – from the docks, to the truck drivers, to the warehouse workers – remains in peril. The U.S. retail supply chain has been thrown into chaos as concern mounts that the merchandise on those ships won’t make it to store shelves in time for the upcoming holiday season. At a 2:30 PM press conference today, Congress Members, Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) Chair Mario Cordero, and labor leaders will call for action to protect supply chain workers and our national economy.
