So here's a good example of how big labor dances to the tune of the capitalist bosses. Granted that the ILWU is one of the more radical unions, we should be asking what labor organizers could be doing in light of this government action.
If you are fighting against capitalism and for a better world, the answer is pretty simple: you organize a wildcat strike in defiance of the government.
This would be a good startegy right now, because the dockworkers are in the crux of the global crisis. A general strike right now in that industry would paralyze international capitalism and it would show everybody who ACTUALLY does the work to make capitalism possible. A wildcat action would also go a long way to tilting power back to organized labor.

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in the world today are anarchists, who are busily undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is still trying to form committees."
