What We Learned From the Los Angeles Port Strike ...

... how to do it on the East Coast (though I doubt "they" need any pointers).

Unions ready to shut down the entire east coast and gulf coast ports. I don't know if that includes oil tankers.
Contract negotiations between the International Longshoremen’s Association and United States Maritime Alliance broke off today, raising the likelihood of a Maine-to-Texas dock strike at year-end.
Wow, it never quits. The west coast longshoremen went on strike: they wouldn't accept the $195,000/year offer. Up from $165,000 if I recall correctly.
