Apparently, the Western dock worker’s union is not in solidarity with ILWU for some reason and people speculate ILWU will lose because of that. Can someone elaborate?

I did read they were paid 43 percent more

The West Coast workers earn at least an estimated US$116,000 per year, for a 40-hour work week, versus the roughly $81,000 dockworkers at the East Coast and Gulf Coast ports take home, not counting overtime pay.
