ON SEPTEMBER 28, 1997, a container-ship sailed through the Golden Gate into San Francisco Bay and tied up at the Yusen Terminal in the port of Oakland. This precipitated an international drama that ranges from Liverpool, England, Vancouver, Canada, and on across the Pacific to Japan. The battle involves British, American, Canadian and Japanese longshoremen, college students, labor supporters, and the bosses' Pacific Maritime Association (PMA).
