Strikes Close Seaports Amid Rails Embargo
The Associated Press reports a nationwide rail embargo on freight to ports as seamen strike nearly 100,000 members of the Seafarers International Union and Sailors Union of the Pacific.

Leaders from AFL and CIO vow the strike will shut down shipping nationwide while the Wage Stabilization Board faces pressure to rehear its pay decision.
