The Port of Los Angeles will move to service 24 hours a day, seven days a week in order to try to address global supply chain bottlenecks, the White House announced on Wednesday.
“The Port of Los Angeles is announcing 24/7 service. We have the CEO-level business commitments to back that up. And these commitments are critical. The supply chain is essentially in the hands of the private sector, so we need the private sector to up to help solve these problems,” a senior administration official said.
The White House also announced on Wednesday that major goods carriers Walmart, FedEx and UPS will move to working around the clock as well.

100 Cargo ships docked off Los Angeles 10-1

You mean they don’t already work 24/7 when ships are backing up
Brandon’s got this!
So, the guys unloading cargo decided to unload cargo because the Democrats asked them to?
Something doesn’t smell right.
This looks like a setup.
“Let’s slow down the unloading then have them speed up.”
While in this ‘reduced-work’ feeling, I’m sure each of the port union guys is making 100-percent of his normal salary. If they want to resolve this mess....Port Management would have to offer to pay them twice the rate, but relate it to each ship off-loaded.
The question is....who is pulling the strings of the union guys from Seattle, Portland, LA and SF? With nothing moving...even the Chinese companies are getting deeper into a problem with production and having no way to deliver it to consumers.
Can someone explain this to me? Don’t the Chinese have contracts to run the ports?
They are not capable of making the trains run on time, liberals never are. Let’s just wait and see what happens. But one sure outcome is that the unions will make a fortune and that will be reflected in the money flowing to the big guy.
The strip clubs in San Pedro also announced their girls are working 24/7.
I believe China owns a couple ports.
They mean 24 x 7, not 24 / 7.
> “Let’s slow down the unloading then have them speed up.”
I had the same thought.
Not sure what happens after it’s all unloaded. I drove 6 hours yesterday and the interstates were already packed with semi trucks for miles and miles. Even though much goes by rail, many times that final trip is by truck to the store.
Possibly of interest, from 2017...
