Union and ICTSI Oregon, Inc. reach settlement of long-running litigation

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (“ILWU”) and ICTSI Oregon, Inc. (“ICTSI”) today jointly announce that they have reached a settlement of all legal claims.

Specifically, the settlement finally resolves all ICTSI’s claims against ILWU relating to the decade-long litigation captioned ICTSI Oregon, Inc. v. International Longshore and Warehouse Union, et al., Case No. 3:12-cv-1058-SI, pending in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, in which a jury determined that ILWU and ILWU Local 8 engaged in unlawful labor practices.

The litigation, which was set for a retrial on damages, was stayed by the commencement of ILWU’s and Local 8’s bankruptcy cases on September 30, 2023 and October 18, 2023, respectively.

Pursuant to the settlement, ICTSI will receive payment of $20.5 million.

The ILWU settlement arises from the parties’ participation in several days of mediation during ILWU’s chapter 11 bankruptcy case, which will be voluntarily dismissed as part of the terms of the settlement.
