US PORTS STRIKE Bush asks court for injunction to end West Coast Port lockout

ananova.com

President George Bush ordered an end to the lockout on West Coast ports, citing harm to US economic and national security.

"I am now directing Attorney General Ashcroft to seek an injunction under the Taft-Hartley Act, ending the lockout and requiring work at the ports to resume at a normal pace," Bush said at the White House.

"This dispute between management and labor cannot be allowed to further harm the economy and force thousands of working Americans from their jobs," Bush said, adding that the work stoppage is costing up to $1 billion per day.

A total of 29 ports from San Diego to Seattle have been shutdown for more than a week.

"I have determined the current situation imperils our national health and safety," he added.
