Strike vote by 250 watchmen threatens America's busiest port complex

250 چوکیداروں کے ہڑتال ووٹ سے امریکہ کی مصروف ترین بندرگاہ کو خطرہ

250 चौकीदारों के हड़ताल वोट से अमेरिका के सबसे व्यस्त बंदरगाह परिसर को खतरा

Strike vote by 250 watchmen threatens America's busiest port complex

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • A union local representing 250 watchmen at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach has voted to authorise a strike that could begin on 1 November if no deal is reached.
  • Employers warn that although the watchmen are only 2 percent of the ports' union workforce, they cover facilities handling more than half the complex's cargo, and other dockworkers are not expected to cross picket lines, which could halt work at six of the 13 container terminals.
  • The threat comes as retailers rush in holiday goods; the ports handled a record 1,055,086 containers in September.
  • لاس اینجلس اور لانگ بیچ کی بندرگاہوں پر 250 چوکیداروں کی نمائندگی کرنے والی یونین نے ہڑتال کی اجازت کے لیے ووٹ دیا ہے، جو معاہدہ نہ ہونے کی صورت میں یکم نومبر سے شروع ہو سکتی ہے۔ آجروں نے خبردار کیا ہے کہ اگرچہ چوکیدار بندرگاہوں کی یونین افرادی قوت کا صرف 2 فیصد ہیں، لیکن وہ آدھے سے زیادہ کارگو سنبھالنے والی سہولتوں کی نگرانی کرتے ہیں، اور دیگر ڈاک مزدوروں سے پکٹ لائن عبور کرنے کی توقع نہیں، جس سے 13 میں سے 6 کنٹینر ٹرمینلز پر کام رک سکتا ہے۔ یہ خطرہ اس وقت آیا ہے جب تاجر چھٹیوں کا سامان منگوا رہے ہیں؛ ستمبر میں بندرگاہوں نے ریکارڈ 1,055,086 کنٹینرز سنبھالے۔ چوکیداروں کا معاہدہ جولائی 2025 میں ختم ہو چکا تھا۔
  • लॉस एंजिल्स और लॉन्ग बीच बंदरगाहों पर 250 चौकीदारों का प्रतिनिधित्व करने वाले यूनियन स्थानीय ने हड़ताल को अधिकृत करने के लिए मतदान किया है, जो समझौता न होने पर 1 नवंबर से शुरू हो सकती है। नियोक्ताओं ने चेतावनी दी है कि हालांकि चौकीदार बंदरगाहों के यूनियन कार्यबल का केवल 2 प्रतिशत हैं, वे आधे से अधिक कार्गो संभालने वाली सुविधाओं की निगरानी करते हैं, और अन्य डॉक श्रमिकों से पिकेट लाइन पार करने की उम्मीद नहीं है, जिससे 13 में से 6 कंटेनर टर्मिनलों पर काम रुक सकता है। यह खतरा ऐसे समय आया है जब खुदरा विक्रेता छुट्टियों का सामान मंगवा रहे हैं; सितंबर में बंदरगाहों ने रिकॉर्ड 1,055,086 कंटेनर संभाले। चौकीदारों का अनुबंध जुलाई 2025 में समाप्त हो गया था।
