This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because a significant portion of the West Coast went on strike effectively stopping industry at several important shipbuilding docks that historically did work for the Military all the way back to WWI. 10,000 metal-workers went on strike for months and it was a turning point for Todd Shipyards Corporation.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Og riff dub (talk • contribs) 22:24, June 1, 2015‎
