Last night Local 13 failed to fill orders for 40 transtainer and hammerhead operators, until second dispatch.<\/p>\n
The 40 jobs hung, because “Diamond” Dave and his partner blocked the window, with Dave telling people on his own megaphone not to take the trans or hammerhead jobs.<\/p>\n
Seems\u00a0like someone\u00a0thinks they can put pressure on the PMA by refusing to fill orders for transtainers and hammerhead cranes.<\/p>\n
There are qualified\u00a0operators checked in on the hold board that have been taking these jobs, and would have taken these jobs last night, until the Local’s self appointed enforcers were in the hall telling members not the fill the trans and hammerheads.<\/p>\n
After the enforcers took their jobs and left the hall, the transtainer and hammerhead got filled at second dispatch.<\/p>\n
Who decided to refuse to fill these jobs and why?<\/p>\n
Does the ILWU think that if PMA can hang the hook on the ships in Seattle and Tacoma, they can cause it to hang in LA\/LB?<\/p>\n
Why in the world would the Union refuse to fill orders and open themselves up to all the negative ramifications associated with their refusal?<\/p>\n
If the Union wants to make a statement: call all the steady men back to the hall and fill every order from the hall.<\/p>\n
Play smarter.<\/p>\n
