But that is not true of the people who move goods from the ships or from ports, other unions say.\n\"One of the major problems with the current state of logistics is the shortage of port truck drivers. They are not paid a living wage,\" said Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa, who participated in the meeting with Biden.\nThe backup may be exacerbating that shortage, because many port drivers are not paid for the hours they spend waiting to pick up a container, making the job less appealing.\nStill, there is no evidence experienced workers are sitting on the sidelines - U.S. transportation and warehousing are employing more people now then they did before the pandemic started,data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show.\nWAREHOUSES OVERFULL, UNDERSTAFFED\nLike seaports, warehouses work best when they are moving products in and out quickly and predictably. Instead, port officials say, they are packed to the rafters and struggling with employee hiring and retention.\nU.S. companies are leasing warehouse space at record levels to handle the large influx of goods for e-commerce.\nThe markets that serve Southern California ports include Los Angeles and the Inland Empire region nearby, which had second-quarter vacancy rates of 1.2% and 1.4%, respectively, according to CBRE data.\n\"Space is clearly tight,\" Dunlap said.\nIt is not just that warehouses are at capacity, Steve DeHaan, CEO of the International Warehouse Logistics Association, said in a recent letter to John Porcari, port envoy for the White House Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force.\nWarehouse owners, tenant and workforce employers can be different companies, which makes drawing up new contracts to pay round-the-clock workers difficult. \"The warehouse cannot arbitrarily make this decision,\" DeHaan said.\nMoving a warehouse to 24/7 operations adds another layer of risk, he said.\n\"For example, receiving a container at 6 a.m. that was scheduled for 3 a.m. delivery disrupts operations for the entire day,\" DeHaan said. \"The goal of reducing container congestion over the next 90 days is ambitious.\"","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3120,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"CN","currentLanguage":"CN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":3,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ZH_CN"},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComment":false,"orderType":2}
