LONG BEACH, CA – OCTOBER 2: Shipping containers are left stacked in the Port of Los Angeles because of the West Coast lockout of dockworkers by shipping lines on October 2, 2002 in Long Beach, California. Hopes that federal mediation would resolve the impasse, which is costing an estimated $1 billion a day, were dashed October 1 after union representatives stormed out of a meeting after shippers showed up with armed security guards.
