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.
