<font size=4>ILWU members refused to cross picketline - citing
"health & safety" provisions of their contract.
Management demanded "instant arbitration." The arbitrator
took a look at the picketlines at each gate to the SSA Terminal and ruled
that <u>ILWU members were justified in refusing to cross</u>. They
were sent home <b>WITH FULL PAY</b>.<br><br>
