RE:RE:RE:Illogical, illogical please explain why oil is not moving???This article suggests, though, that Houston TX area oil operations would not be affected:

A strike by the port’s longshoremen would not affect most oil, gas and liquid chemical exports because they are not transported in the shipping containers longshoremen are needed to move, said Jesse B. Thompson III, a senior business economist at the Houston Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
“It’s a mixed bag for Houston's core industries,” Thompson said. “Oil and gas will be fine, but chemicals, there could be some issues.”
The strike would halt the transportation of anything that moves in a container, including fresh produce, auto parts, manufactured components and, most crucially for Houston’s export economy, plastic resins, Thompson said.
Port Houston is the nation’s leader in resin exports, making up about 59% of the United States’ total market.
