Strike Looms Affects East Coast Ports In NY Labor Action
AP reports little chance to avert a Sunday midnight ILA strike. Ports from Brownsville Texas to Searsport Maine would be hit.

Federal mediators said a new three year contract with the New York Shipping Association appeared unlikely before current terms end. The unions traditionally practice no contract no work.
