PORTLAND — An international longshore union and its Portland chapter could owe a former Port of Portland tenant $93.6 million after a U.S. District Court jury decided Nov. 4 that the union used unfair labor practices that damaged the company.

However, U.S. District Judge Michael Simon agreed to delay entry of a judgment for the lawsuit between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and ICTSI Oregon, Inc., until the parties submit post-trial motions, according to court documents.

Union attorneys had requested the delay just one day after the jury verdict was announced.

The judge also could decide to change the amount awarded, according to Northwest Labor Press, a union-supported newspaper based in Portland. Additionally, the union could ask for a new trial or appeal the jury’s decision.

The lawsuit stems from a years-long labor dispute between ICTSI Oregon Inc. and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 8, ILWU’s Portland chapter.
