These employers have recognized the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, Local 13; International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, Local 63; and the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, Local 63, Office Clerical Unit (collectively, the Unions), as the collective-bargaining representatives of the terminal's employees. 3 From 1991 to 1994, Maersk Pacific Limited (Maersk) operated the army terminal.
