Western North American Dockworkers Stand Strong!

Labour talks break down, ILWU tells Shrub: Bug Off!

Sunday's negotiations with the PMA(Pacific Mafia Arseholes) broke down as the criminal syndicate continued imploring that they be able to replace good workers with computers, among other demands that will only result in the loss of many jobs and result in poverty(as in pay and other reductions) for dockworkers world-wide.

Let's tell the corporate bastards that if they sic their sad puppy Shrub on them with his military scab-protection racket, then dockworkers all over the world will walk off the job and shut ALL the world's ports down and finally stop their sorry "global economy" scam once and for all!

Hello UK,
Things are moving fast on the Docks here on the West Coast as The Negotiations have broken down and Bush is working towards invoking the Taft Hartley anti-union archaic law in order to get the cargo moving.Our Brothers and sisters in the ILWU are in it for the Long-Haul.A few of us from the ILWU were in Prague and met some great folks from the UK including some from the IMC.The ILWU is the last Militant Democratic UNION in the US.This struggle isnt about Money its about who controls the Waterfront the Bosses or us.Anyway Cheers and we Shall Prevail.AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY TO ALL!
In Solidarity, Jeff E. IBU-ILWU SEATTLE
