I just heard today that Obama’s Occupy thugs in cooperation with the longshoreman’s union are going to shut down the ports on the Left Coast on Monday. Don’t know how strong the rumor is but that is what I am hearing.
I don’t know what the current situation is with regard to the West Coast longshoreman’s union, but years ago if I remember correctly the Communist Gus Hall had considerable power. The Occupy movement better watch it’s step that it doesn’t get completely co-opted.
My father was on the New York Port Council in the late 1940s and fighting to keep the Communists from taking power in his Insurance Workers Union. For years I hardly ever saw him and we lived pretty poor because instead of selling insurance, he was putting so much time and energy into his political/union activities to block the Communists.
