Effective immediately, all current job actions will cease and all work covered by the Master Contract will resume.
As a result, the Georgia Ports’ operations will resume Friday morning, October 4th with truck gates at 0600 hrs at Garden City Terminal and 0800 hrs Ocean Terminal.
In addition to gates, vessel operations will begin between 0800 – 1300 hrs and rail operations start at 0700 hrs.
