After ICTSI took over the facility, the ILWU wanted the company to force another union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, to forfeit two jobs plugging in refrigerated shipping containers while they were on the dock. A dispute over those two jobs simmered for years and, according to a federal lawsuit first reported on by The Oregonian, led to the loss of container shipping service for Portland and forced ICTSI to buy its way out of its contract with the port for $20 million.
