Washington, D.C. — Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after it was announced that negotiators from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association arrived at a tentative contract deal late yesterday:
"The tentative deal announced between ILWU and PMA negotiators is good news for all Americans.
