In 1997 at the Port of Oakland labor supporters of the striking Liverpool dock workers established a picket line to prevent the unloading of the ship the Neptune Jade. This ship has received cargo from the Port of Liverpool and in solidarity with the Liverpool dockers ILWU Local 10 and ILWU Local 3 members refused to cross the picket lines. When the ship left three days later with out being unloaded it went to Vancouver and Kobe, Japan where dockers also refused to unload the cargo in this international solidarity action.

Solidarity Has No Borders:The Journey Of The Neptune Jade

In 1995, Liverpool T&G dockers went on strike to protest their firing for not crossing a picket line. Their strike was a challenge to the privatization of the ports by Thatcher and the union leadership of the Transport and General Workers Union which refused to support their strike action citing the anti-labor laws.
This documentary is about the support action against the ship Neptune Jade in Oakland, California in 1997 which was carrying cargo from the struck port. The picket continued in Vancouver, British Columbia and in Kobe, Japan
