The short explanation of this alert was:
West coast dockworkers are working without a contract because their employers, supported by shoe companies like Payless ShoeSource, Stride Rite and Cole Haan, have not bargained to reach a deal. Their intransigence has been supported by Bush administration threats to use troops to run the docks in the event of a lockout or a strike. Tell the shoe companies--who are among the biggest users of the West Cost docks--to join the call for fair and just bargaining.
