3.  when one follows the links you provide,
here and on other threads, a more complete context for the ILWU's actions in longview emerges, and cutting brake lines and spilling grain begin to seem like mild responses to the situation, rather than vandalism as some characterize the the actions to be.
those who want to defend EGT and the "union" scabs they have hired need to read the articles, listen to the testimony, and view the videos (especially the one where the ILWU strikers are run over by a truck) and then reassess the situation.
the ILWU has not been the aggressor in this conflict. they are the victims.
those of us with decent jobs and those who would like better jobs need to understand that the ILWU is fighting for you too.
