Log trucks hired by Astoria Forest Products to move timber from the company’s storage and processing yard on Pier 3 to the union longshoremen on Pier 1 who load the logs on oceangoing carriers. The company is obligated to pay for “ghost riders” from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union to ride shotgun on the trucks, because the union has jurisdiction over cargo on Port property. REALLY? Does the ILWU own Port property?..NO. A grand example of the ILWU overstepping & using power it doesn't have. This union, often thought of by many,  as having way to much power and shady aggressive activities is ripe to have that less then stellar label slapped on it once again. The ILWU has a contract to load and unload ships at the Port. (Period) They do not own nor should control port property. How logs are moved from point A to point B is none of their business. Overstepping to be sure. "Ghost riding" looks and smells like money grabbing - another "shady" label to stick on them for sure
