The National Aquaculture Association strongly supports a coalition letter signed by over 270 local, state and national trade associations urging President Biden and the administration to use all of its authorities to end the port strike, get the ports open and get the parties back to the negotiating table.

The letter is very specific:

“While we would have all preferred for the collective bargaining process to have worked and the parties to have negotiated and reached a deal, that was not the case. The administration must now step in to not only get the ports open again but work with the parties to resolve the outstanding contract issues. The only way the parties can agree on a new deal is if they return to the negotiating table with the help of a federal mediator to ensure they bargain in good faith.”
