2,000 Workers on Strike at Large U.K. Container Port
----------------------------------------------------

In labor news, nearly 2,000 dockworkers at Britain's largest container
port began an eight-day strike on Sunday. It's the first strike at the
Port of Felixstowe in 30 years. Meanwhile, here in the United States,
over 500 staffers at American University are set to begin a strike today
as they demand wage and benefit increases. The workers are represented
by SEIU Local 500.
