Unionized workers at U.S. military bases in Japan go on strike

YOKOSUKA, Japan - Striking Japanese workers hold a rally outside the U.S. naval base in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture on Nov. 21. The workers went on strike, the first nationwide work stoppage action in 16 years by the 16,000-member All Japan Garrison Forces Labor Union, to protest proposed cuts in benefits as a result of Japan's plan to curtail host-nation support for U.S. bases.
