Longshoreman strikes used to be a very big deal - now... will see...

Southern California Port Strike Threat (November 2026)

Los Angeles and Long Beach: A local union representing 250 watchmen at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach voted to authorize a strike that could begin as soon as Sunday, November 1, 2026.

Potential Impact: While watchmen make up a small portion of the workforce, other International Longshoremen's and Warehouse Union (ILWU) members are not expected to cross picket lines, which could halt operations at six container terminals during the peak holiday shipping season.

other than the fact that many are (sadly wrongly and for no good reason) dying over there daily... interesting the ways that "war" has developed vis a vis past conflicts.... no air war... no real ground movements... no "all out" mobilizations - military mongers scholars planners educators academies must be all a twitter....
