PORTLAND, Ore. – The International Longshore and Warehouse Union filed a lawsuit against Cowlitz County, its sheriff and the city of Longview's police chief Thursday alleging police brutality.
The ILWU Local 21 is in a labor dispute with EGT Development at the Port of Longview. It says its members should be allowed to work at a new terminal but EGT has hired workers from a Portland-based union.
As is generally known, the thugs have disabled trains, dumped cargo, and taken hostages - at one point, they yanked a security guard out of his car and rolled the vehicle into a ditch. This is how they "negotiate":
These morons believe that any job involving freight is automatically their job, and they're willing to resort to just about anything to enforce their version of reality. The latest move by the poor babies is the frivolous lawsuit venue.
Oddly, there is a degree of merit in their claim: it would have been more humane if the cops had just shot 'em dead.
