All Sides in Pacific Ports Fight Are Talking: Walsh

The transcript discusses ongoing negotiations at West Coast ports, with Secretary Walsh visiting the area to facilitate discussions between unions and companies. Unlike previous rail negotiations, both parties are actively communicating. While no specific resolution date is set, progress is being made, and Walsh is optimistic about a positive outcome. Concerns would arise if communication breaks down, but this is not currently the case. Initial hopes for a Labor Day contract were unmet, but efforts continue to reach an agreement soon.
