Of course the union guys are lo0king out for their own paychecks, while at least in the abstract having no problem with the reasons for the protest. This is more like a wildcat strike than anything else.

“Longeshoreman in Longview are currently in a bitter fight with the multinational grain exporter EGT, and port truckers in LA are fighting to unionize against Goldman Sachs-owned SSA.

”

They oppose the shut down because it threatens their pay.

This part is true as can be Link from Longshoremens web

It’s a lot to ask that that many people lose pay because someone else decides it would be cool to shut down the port to say they did it.
