Official Statement of ICTSI Oregon, Inc. on Court Order for International Longshore and Warehouse Union to pay the National Labor Relations Board
On December 16, 2014, Judge Michael Simon ruled that the ILWU International (International Longshore and Warehouse Union) in San Francisco and ILWU Local 8 in Portland willfully and intentionally violated the court’s previous injunction against work stoppages and slowdowns at Terminal 6.
Judge Simon ruled that ILWU leadership encouraged ILWU members to engage in unlawful work stoppages and slowdowns and directed and coordinated their actions. Judge Simon also found that, in some cases, ILWU Local 8 officers themselves directly participated in this conduct.
As part of his decision and in furtherance of the Judge’s efforts to ensure that the ILWU would obey his order going forward, Judge Simon ordered the ILWU to pay the attorney fees and expenses of the National Labor Relations Board in obtaining the contempt order.
On Monday, March 9, 2015, the Court ordered the ILWU to pay the NLRB the sum of $59,628.18.
