The dock strike is a disgrace. How dare they try and pull this crap off during a time of war. All of them should be fired. Give the jobs to people who need them.

The dock "lockout" is a deliberate strategy cooked up between the unions and the national democrats to kill the economy just before the election.

This will dominate the news in a couple of weeks.

I agree. This is no coincidence.

I don't know all the issues involved in the "strike" but I'd love to see the dock owners (assuming there are some privately owned docks) making an ultimatum that strikers either return to work or be replaced. I'm sure that there would be a violent reaction, but that might serve to further expose the left's self-centered agenda.

Come to think of it, I wonder if the dock strike isn't part of a leftist agenda that is trying to hurt the economy to make the Republicans look bad. The dems sorely need a crisis to help themselves.

Why should American workers be fired when the foreign employers locked them out? Read about it.

And our beloved Senate is holding up Homeland Security Legislation because the people have to be unionized? What if we were hit, and they were on strike again?
How would they put America first during an attack, when right now they're holding up 40% of an already hurting economy?
I can't help but think the Democrat crooks in Washington are getting them to do this. The Union bosses and Decocrats are crime buddies. That way, they can use the economy against Bush in 2004. Until the union attacked us, the economy was rebuilding itsef quite well. Slow, but steady.
