Summary
United States Pacific Islands Surface Commerce Act - Provides that no strike or lockout in the longshore or maritime industry in the States of Washington, Oregon, or California shall be permitted to interrupt normal shipping from any port on the west coast to Hawaii, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, Guam, or American Samoa or from Hawaii or any United States Pacific island to any port on the west coast for a period of 160 days beginning on the first day of the strike or lockout. Authorizes an employer, labor organization, or executive official of Hawaii and such United States Pacific islands to petition any United States district court having jurisdiction to issue an injunction or temporary restraining order to enforce this provision.
