On April 4th longshore workers joined tens of thousands of workers in more than 1000 cities and towns across the country. They heeded the call of the AFL-CIO for 'no business as usual' to show support for embattled Wisconsin workers on the anniversary of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination as he supported Memphis, Tenn. sanitation workers' strike for collective bargaining and dignity forty-three years ago.
The San Francisco and Oakland, Calif. port workers themselves stood up and made their slogan "an injury to one, is an injury to all" a reality. In a rank-and-file act of resistance to the bosses' war on workers, they each voluntarily withdrew their labor from the docks that day! Nothing moved on the waterfront for 24 hours. Solidarity Needed Now! _________________ "When people refuse to obey, then democracy comes alive." Howard Zinn |
