50 000 Longshoremen Strike Across Nation’s Seaports
New York reports 50 000 Atlantic and Gulf coast longshoremen walked off as a three year contract expired.

Containerships began sailing to avoid port standstills as negotiations with Southern shippers, the ILWU pact, and job security plans continue with mediation attempts and recalls possible.
