Pull this thread... it was 2 minutes late.

Unless the 'take back the senate' ad needs the exposure.

It's not going to help much if the ILA still uses the
slowdown tactics.

So the union has rejected the offer by the shippers to put
$ 1 Billion in the pension fund AND give them job security because they also wanted the issue of automation removed from the negotiations. This is a stick-up, not a negotiation. Get the feeling that this "extortion" is about a lot more than dockworkers benefits?

Things that make you go hmmmmm.....

“Contract, Yes! Government intervention, No!” was the message of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), the AFL-CIO, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) and many mayors at rallies up and down the West Coast, Aug. 12. Thousands took to the streets in protest of a threat by the Bush administration to take over ports militarily in the event that the union decides to strike.

“I’m here because I think you are right on track. The stakes could not be higher,” Daschle said to the Portland, Ore., rally. “I say this administration is wrong, wrong, wrong, and you’ve got every right to fight, fight, fight!” “We will be with you until the last day to see that you get what you deserve,” Daschle said as he pledged that Democrats nationwide would defend the union’s right to strike.

Backing that message were other prominent Congressional Democrats including Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Rep. David Wu (D-Ore.), who joined Daschle in Portland; Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Grace Napolitano (D-Calif.) and House Democratic Whip Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) sent strongly worded messages to the rallies.

This was not covered in the lamestream media (only socialist websites as far as I can find) who trip over themselves to cover Daschle every time he sneezes. Daschle himself normally notifies the press when he wants to rant, as he did in Congress recently. Is it possible the Dems are going under the radar to undermine the economy prior to the election?
