"Kendall Harmon
Will Cooling-Off Period Work?
10/08/02 07:02 PM ET

Dan, you said you "suspect Bush's intervention" in the dockworker's dispute "won't work." I was interested in this: piece that ran earlier today.. Historically, cooling-off periods have failed to permanently end labor disputes.

Labor Department Solicitor Eugene Scalia told reporters that there had been 11 coastalwide dock work stoppages since the Taft-Hartley Act was passed in 1947, and in all of those cases, the president sought injunctions after convening a board of inquiry.

In at least eight of those instances, the 80-day cooling-off period failed to resolve the dispute and the work stoppage resumed once it was over.

So the odds are stacked heavily against Bush succeeding this time."
