That the ILWU is leftist isn't a surprise. Or at least it shouldn't be. Please look up (or ask your father) about the wobblies, July 5th (ever wonder why he always had the 5th off), and Harry Bridges (he has a chair endowed in his name at the Univerity of Washington).
The saying was "The west coast is communist; the east coast is mob".
It's just the ILWU has always been very, very left wing. Not always a bad thing, btw. Harry Bridges was the founder of the ILWU and first president. What is done and why can be found in his wiki for a short read.
Are they mandating the port workers to be vaxxed? Just wondering if there might be any resistance and/or future labor shortage?
