Workers of the World Unite

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).
