Before the ILWU longshoreman in America were literally worked to death. The West coast went on strike in 1934 for union recognition. Workers were attacked and slain just as WWI veterans had been on the Washington DC mall during the “Bonus march”. San Francisco went on a general strike in support of longshoreman and stopped all business in the city for 3 days. <br /> <br />This bit of history you won't get on Fox news explains why longshoreman aren't so willing to compromise on hours and safety. <br />[url]http://www.ilwu19.com/history/1933.htm[/url]
