🚢 Operations at the Port of Seattle have been suspended due to a clash between the ILWU and the PMA.

Cargo operations at the Port of Seattle have been halted due to coordinated work actions led by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), according to a tweet from the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), which represents terminal operators.
