But  remember that although there was an official ILWU  vote for all West Coast ILWU Locals to stop work on May Day 2008 the Los Angeles ILWU Locals are refusing to honor that resolution and plan to work (SCAB) on May Day 2008.

    But the established Union bureaucrats do put out good publicity for all to follow (and for them to get credit - and good salaries from).

    So when are we going to have news bulletins (and other publicity ) giving the port truckers version of things???
