US west coast ports and supply chains need 24/7 work week
Port of Long Beach executive director Mario Cordero says a change must come if ports and their industry partners are to compete in the 'Amazon world' of consumers ordering goods around the clock as producers labour the same hours to meet those demands
Mr Cordero is highly aware that the 24/7 mentality cannot be limited to the dockworkers or even the port itself ‘because ultimately to have a robust 24/7 model, it has to move to the supply chain’ as a whole
