Business at the 130-acre port is way down since the boom times ended. Hueneme lost $1.3 million during the fiscal year that ended June 30, down from a profit of $1 million in 2008. … Although there’s still work at Hueneme, local dockworkers have to compete with struggling hands who have come from other ports seeking employment. On a recent day, 126 dockworkers from cities up and down the Pacific Coast came to apply for jobs, said Jess Herrera, president of International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 46.
