Not approved just yet
SAN FRANCISCO -- The bitter contract dispute that closed West Coast ports for 10 days this fall isn't over yet.
Members of the dockworkers union still must approve the tentative contract their representatives signed last month -- and going into a union caucus that began today, signs are that's far from automatic.
The contract would usher in new cargo-tracking technology that would cut 400 International Longshore and Warehouse Union jobs.
