On September 19, 2013, an outstanding luncheon was held at Scott’s Seafood Restaurant at Jack London Square in Oakland featuring the president of the Pacific Maritime Association, James McKenna and the president of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, Robert McEllrath. These two leaders of West Coast maritime interests presented an informative discussion of the issues facing the West Coast’s economy and how all maritime interests can ensure its growth. Each speaker graciously spent time answering questions from the audience. Over 100 Bay Area maritime leaders attended this outstanding event.
