I didn't mean to shut down discussion, but to 
protect individual's privacy.
I have been critized in the past for Cc'n people 
openly, as an invasion of their privacy.
What do you suggest in my future postings 
?

      Yr posting Bcc to everyone -- "undisclosed recipients" -- 
         means we can't reply to anybody but YOU (in case you don't wish to 
        shut down discussion entirely). I did add peace-discuss to yr 
        Durbin-Social Security post.

           The possibility of a nationwide shutdown of the docks is 
          potentially huge. We had the just concluded Chicago teachers strike.it 
          was significantly more militant than other strikes in the past. I also 
          have the impression that the deal they reached was not the totally 
          rotten package that other unions have agreed to - that it was quite a 
          bit better than what had originally been offered.

Obviously, the important part of this is the support 
          pledged by other locals and the ILWU.  This could create a 
          nationwide longshore strike just before a presidential election, and 
          the ramifications of that would be significant.  The recently 
          formed Maritime Labor Alliance, which includes ship officer unions, 
          has also pledged support.  A big question would be whether Obama 
          would invoke the Taft-Hartley Act to impose a cooling off period, 
          effectively making a strike illegal until after the election, and 
          whether the strike would happen anyway.  The ILWU Northwest 
          Master Grain Agreement also expires at the end of the month, and in 
          the negotiations underway now for that the grain handling companies 
          are insisting on givebacks along the lines of the EGT/Longview 
          agreement.  The mood among longshoremen is not to give back 
          anything, so hold on to your hat for what could be a major advance in 
          labor activism soon.

              NJ ILA Local OKs Strike If No Deal 
              Reached

Ports/Terminals | Labor | United States
Bayonne 
              local approves $100,000 for pickets at other 
              ports
              An International Longshoremen’s Association local in 
              Bayonne, N.J., voted to authorize a strike and send pickets to 
              other ports if no contract agreement is reached before the ILA’s 
              current Maine-to-Texas master contract expires Sept. 
              30.
Members of Local 1588 voted to earmark $100,000 to pay for 
              sending members to other ports to set up picket lines if the ILA 
              strikes. Local President Virgil Maldonado said the votes were 
              unanimous at a special membership meeting Monday night.
The ILA 
              and United States Maritime Alliance are scheduled to resume 
              negotiations Wednesday and Thursday in New Jersey under 
              supervision of a federal mediator. The meetings on the master 
              contract, which covers containers and roll-on, roll-off cargo, 
              will be the first since negotiations broke off Aug. 
              22.

Local 1588’s 395 members work primarily at Global 
              Terminals in Bayonne, which plans to install remote-controlled 
              stacking cranes and labor-saving technology at truck gates as part 
              of an expansion set for completion in 2014.
Before the 
              negotiations broke off last month, the ILA and USMX reached 
              agreement in principle on a new program to pay dockworkers 
              displaced by new technology. The ILA and USMX also agreed on 
              provisions to preserve union jurisdiction over chassis maintenance 
              and repair.
Maldonado said the $100,000 for out-of-town pickets 
              was authorized to allow ILA picketing in U.S. ports, including the 
              West Coast, and at overseas locations where other unions have 
              pledged support for the ILA.
Paddy Crumlin, president of the 
              International Transport Workers Federation and the Maritime Union 
              of Australia, met last week with the presidents of the ILA and 
              International Longshore and Warehouse Union, and the three pledged 
              mutual support.
The ILWU is working under a contract that 
              doesn’t expire until mid-2014.

Local 1588 was the second New York-New Jersey local 
              to authorize its leaders to call a strike if no contract is 
              reached. Local 1804-1, representing 1,800 equipment maintenance 
              and repair workers, voted Aug. 28 to authorize a strike.
Local 
              1804-1 is headed by Dennis Daggett, president of the ILA’s 
              Maine-to-Virginia Atlantic Coast District and son of the union’s 
              president, Harold Daggett.

Its members work for companies in the New York 
              Shipping Association, which is part of USMX, and the Metropolitan 
              Marine Maintenance Contractors Association, which negotiates 
              separately with the union. An ILA spokesman said, however, that 
              all of the local’s members voted to support a strike and that 
              NYSA and Metro workers agreed to support each other in any 
              action taken.
