The story I always think of is the Port of Portland shutting down was because the ILWU organized a $20 million dollar slowdown to punish the operator. The operator ended up pulling out of the city never to return, costing all the ILWU workers their jobs, as well as the city of Portland a few million a year in taxes.

The reason for the $20 million dollar slow down? The ILWU wanted to take two jobs away on the site from the IBEW!
