Hilariously even if they do go back to work, they'll probably work at 50% of their previous pace so its not like it'll really solve anything
It seems like the ILWU screwed up -- being caught illegal on a "did not provide 72hrs strike notice" seems entirely like a rookie mistake on the ILWU's part. Personally, I'm surprised to hear a big union messing up on little details like this, and I'd say the fed gov got lucky to be able to catch them on this technicality.
