Not Affected By
6No SaiP Policy
Three West Coast maritime unions
have ordered “no sailing" policy as
mediation sessions continued over

will continue to work the ships but
won't s/s'n or sail any vessel due
to depart.”

the sailors, firemen and stewards—
and its ships are sailing as sched
uled, on schedule.
