They're not striking. They're being locked out. I didn't say that foreign workers were going to take the jobs, I said that the foreign companies would prefer to bring in minimum wage workers to replace the longshoremen and clerks. In California, minimum wage workers means illegal aliens for the most part. Illegals have taken over too many jobs already, why give them more jobs on the docks?

Staging a work slowdown is akin to going on strike. You just work slower, don't get as much done and still get paid for it. Instead of paying people to work like snails, have the union strike fund take up the slack. Of course, that detracts from union funds to campaign for Demoncrats but, hey!...life's not fair!
