The operator of Virginia Port Authority's terminals is attempting to cut costs because of a slump in port trade.

Virginia International Terminals Inc. has announced a voluntary separation agreement for some employees and a pay freeze for hourly workers. Management is also feeling the pinch with a pay freeze.

The measures were outlined to the company's approximately 450 workers in a memo this week.

The president and CEO of Virginia International Terminals, Joe Dorto, said container volume is down about 22 percent at Virginia's port facilities.

WHSV Poll
A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
