act actively aggressive appear authority believe calling coast complete congress continue current encourage event extend individual members minimize order parties president risk states taking union west work
We continue to believe that the President will invoke his authority under the Taft-Hartley Act and order union members back to work in the event for a strike. Individual members of Congress from West Coast states appear to be taking a more aggressive position, and have been actively calling or writing the ILWU and PMA to encourage the parties to at least extend the current contract, which would minimize the risk of a complete work stoppage.
appear appears believe bush choose continue despite disruption intervene labor likely longer next popularity port president pressure protect recent risk thus time until week
We continue to believe that the President is under some pressure to not appear anti-labor, and thus will probably not intervene until some time next week at the earliest. But despite his recent popularity with the Teamsters and the AFL-CIO, Bush will, in our view, most likely choose to protect the economy, which appears to increasingly be at risk the longer the port disruption continues.

break hard mean nice struggling win
We were 0-3 after the (all-star) break and struggling to find ourselves. It's a nice win but it won't mean anything if we don't come back and play hard tomorrow.

I still think we could be better, though. We showed signs in the first inning of being very good. We let up after that.

fund key remember using work
It did work out a little better than we thought. But you have to remember that one key part of all this is that we're still using our fund balance.
