I just want to clarify something in the news letter that is wrong. The current mess on the west coast in regards to the ships not being unloaded is not a strike. It is a lockout. The difference is a strike is when the workers protest the actions of an employer by refusing to work. A lock out is when an employer refuses to allow the workers in to do there jobs. The action on the west coast has been reported in the news papers as a Lock out!
