ILWU Statement on the 60-Day Jones Act Waiver

On behalf of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), we strongly oppose the Trump Administration’s decision to issue a blanket 60-day waiver of the Jones Act.

A blanket Jones Act waiver such as this undermines our national security, weakens military readiness and shifts critical maritime work to foreign vessel operators. During a time of heightened international conflict and uncertainty, opening U.S. waterways to foreign vessels is a dangerous move for the U.S. mariners we represent.

The strength and security of our nation’s maritime industry rely on the Jones Act. The ILWU urges the Administration and Congress to pause this action and work with stakeholders – including labor – to develop responsible, long-term solutions.

Today, the Port of Portland announced a new deal with Harbor Industrial to keep container shipping available at Terminal 6 — Oregon’s only active international container port.

From wheat fields in Pendleton to warehouses in Portland, this agreement keeps goods moving and opportunity growing for all of us. We're celebrating the future of this critical piece of our economy and the many people who worked to invest in it for the good of our state.

We’re especially grateful for the strong public-private partnerships that made this possible, including support from shipping industry leaders, legislators, and Governor Tina Kotek. Each of them recognizes the value of international trade to farmers, freight crews, small business owners, and everyday Oregonians.
