After a union wildcat strike turned violent on Thursday, triggering a walkout at five ports in Washington state, longshoremen went back to work on Friday. But in an unusual twist, the National Labor Relations Board succeeded in getting a federal judge to issue a preliminary injunction Thursday against further union activity at the Port of Longview after the union ignored the temporary restraining order that he issued a week earlier. The agency will hold a hearing next month to determine whether further restrictions are warranted. NLRB spokeswoman Nancy Cleeland said it was not common for the agency to

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
NLRB investigates unions?
I thought their primary goal was to promote unions to keep the cash flowing to dims?
Oh PLEASE....they will find NOTHING wrong with the KIDNAPPERS and VANDALS!!! NLRB LOVES UNION THUGS!!!
I’d prefer a Federal Judge look into it, however, we all know that if he/she was appointed by a Dim the results will be the same..

ROTFL! This flippin', out of control, Obama regime cracks me up. Another "investigation" going nowhere. The lunatics are running the asylum.
"We find that the guards repeatedly pounded their faces into the innocent longshoreman's fists and bats. We are asking for a federal judge to assess the damage to the longshoreman's poor knuckles, and the loss and damage to several Louisville Sluggers. Not to mention the cost of re-sharpening the knives used to cut brake lines on thousand ton railroad cars."
...Depresses and pisses me off...
Talked about this with a friend in the port community today.
The grain terminal in question is run by unionized labor - just not the longshoremen. Seems as though the longshoremen made too many demands on the Japanese-Chinese-American owners and they decided to hire unionized operating engineers instead of longshoremen.
This incident shouldn’t go anywhere. The longshoremen never had a contract. The port can’t require use of a specific union. The operating engineers don’t have a contract either.
NLRB - no!
Surely there is a case here for the State Police and/or FBI.

“Investigates”?????
Some of them should be thrown in jail and the key tossed into the port for kidnapping and property destruction. But it won’t happen on Holder’s watch.
Give us any reason we should feel any sympathy at all for people like this. We didn’t cuss that much in the Army!

Why isn’t the FBI doing the investigation and making arrests?
AFAIK, kidnapping is a federal offense. I would think, also, that the damage to the train cars and the dumping of the grain would total to big $$$ losses that would result in prison time.
It amazes me that US ports are public facilities paid for by private shippers and taxpayers. Yet, unions can lay claim to it as if they owned it and not violate any laws?
