OAKLAND (10/2/97) -- After sitting like a beached whale for four days at the Yusen Terminal in the Port of Oakland, the Neptune Jade finally sailed out of San Francisco Bay early Wednesday morning. Every one of the dozens of huge shipping containers destined for unloading in Oakland remained aboard, as the enormous freighter began a trek up the Pacific Coast, searching for a port where longshoremen were willing to work its cargo.

San Francisco dockworkers clearly weren't.

The Neptune Jade was carrying cargo loaded in the British port of Thamesport, where the port authority is a subsidiary of the Mersey Dock and Harbour Company.  Two years ago, that company fired 500 longshoremen in Liverpool after they walked out on strike against brutal speedup and deteriorating working conditions.
