Thousands of dockworkers at 29 West Coast ports took the day off Thursday, effectively shutting down operations at the busy complexes in what the union called a protest of the war in Iraq but employers worried might be a prelude to labor unrest.
Well, it’s about GD time. I was beginning to think American workers had become Stepford wived.
The stand-down at ports including Los Angeles and Long Beach -- which combined handle 40% of the imported goods arriving in the United States each year -- idled ships and cranes, stranded thousands of big rigs and halted movement of about 10,000 containers during the eight-hour day shift.
And this is no small thing considering the Bush Administration made out to turn May Day into a day of prayer, attempting to roll over both laborers and the divine feminine (just another in a long history of God's people's attempt to destroy that).
