Strikes at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the busiest ports in the U.S., have entered their second week.
Clerical workers that have been without a contract for 2.5 years have been picketing at the twin ports, and longshoreman and other union workers have refused to cross the picketing lines.
