LOS ANGELES — A strike at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach entered its fourth day on Friday despite efforts to end the walkout that has idled most of the nation’s busiest cargo complex.
Seven of eight terminals in Los Angeles and three of six in Long Beach were closed to cargo container traffic as dockworkers refused to cross picket lines set up by union clerical workers who claim shippers are outsourcing their jobs.
There were a handful of picketers at each terminal on Friday, said Phillip Sanfield, Los Angeles port spokesman.
Combined, Los Angeles and Long Beach handle 40 percent of the nation’s import trade
At least 18 cargo ships have been unable to load or unload since workers began the strike on Tuesday. A handful of vessels that were anchored offshore apparently left for other ports, Sanfield said.
