FAIL!! Less than 100 people at Oakland…10 cops could have ended this at a cost less than 1 day of a longshoremans pay of $500 a day…times how many who didn’t work…this is an absolute joke and a disgrace…talk about your 1%ers…looks as though you can add the longshoremans union to that group!

OAKLAND, California (AP) — More than 1,000 Occupy Wall Street protesters blocked cargo trucks at busy West Coast ports, forcing some shipping terminals in Oakland, California, Portland, Oregon, and Washington state to halt operations.
While Monday’s protests attracted far fewer people than the 10,000 who turned out Nov. 2 to shut down Oakland’s port, organizers declared victory and promised more demonstrations to come.

The longshoremen’s union did not officially support the protests, but its membership cited a provision in its contract that allowed workers to ask to stay off the job if they felt the conditions were unsafe.
Some went home with several hours’ pay, while others left with nothing.

Oakland Longshoreman DeAndre Whitten was OK with it. “I hope they keep it up,” said Whitten, who lost about $500. “I have no problem with it. But my wife wasn’t happy about it.”
