U.S. District Judge Ronald Leighton said in a decision released Tuesday that the union violated an injunction in the mobilization on September 21. He had previously fined the International Longshore and Warehouse Union for protests earlier in the month, although the union has since appealed that ruling
The latest fine includes money for the National Labor Relations Board, terminal operator EGT and various law enforcement agencies. ILWU plans to appeal, saying the judge imposed payment without due process.
