they want new contracts to protect workers against outsourcing jobs abroad. If the job is to unload ships in Lng Beach, how can that be outsourced,i.e., how can someone in India unload a ship in California?

It is the Office Clerical group in the ILWU that has been working without a contract the last 5 months. The sticky issue is having their jobs outsourced to foreign workers overseas.

"If the job is to unload ships in Lng Beach, how can that be outsourced,i.e., how can someone in India unload a ship in California?" I don't know for sure, but since it's the clerical unit, I'm guessing it's an asset visibility /inventory management function they do, monitoring what's loaded and unloaded at the dock. With bar codes, scanners and computers, it's a job just as easily done from Mumbai as it is from an air conditioned office at the dock that the worker never leaves.
