SFIA recently joined other business interests on a letter seeking government intervention, if needed, to avoid west coast labor stoppages during negotiations between west coast ports and labor unions. Past history suggests labor issues will arise as the deadline for a new agreement nears, and U.S. businesses cannot afford an unnecessary and avoidable disruption in supply chains, as the U.S. continues to recover from the pandemic.
Separately, SFIA joined businesses in support of California Bill AB 2406 to combat unreasonable detention and demurrage charges at California ports.
SFIA seeks to ensure a favorable market for its members and supports efforts to reduce the cost of getting sports and fitness products to market.
