Slowdown at West Coast ports won't halt holiday goods; talks on dockworker contract to resume
In this Dec. 4, 2006 file photo, containers are unloaded from the APL Singapore vessel at the port of Los Angeles. Labor strife at major West Coast sea ports is threatening the delivery of holiday goods that consumers expect and retailers need to turn a profit. The association representing companies that ship cargo in and out of 29 West Coast ports and manage containers once they are onshore is accusing the dockworkers’ union of deliberately slowing work to gain bargaining leverage. The association said crane operators in Washington state are moving cargo at half-speed, while in Southern California the union isn’t dispatching enough workers to load containers efficiently onto trucks and trains. The union says cargo flow is gummed up because companies can’t provide enough truck chassis to meet demand. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, File)

While Ohio law already includes protection for apologies by doctors, a bill sponsored by Stautberg, a Cincinnati Republican, would shield statements that take responsibility or acknowledge mistakes.
