May Day Strike Against the War Shuts Down All U.S. West Coast Ports |
|
by Internationalist Group |
04 May 2008
|
|
On May 1, every port on the West Coast of the United States was shut down to demand an end to the U.S. war and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. The historic May Day walkout by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) is the first time ever that an American union has struck against a U.S. war. The union ranks defied the rulings of an arbitrator, who twice ordered them to go to work. They overcame the capitulations of the ILWU leadership, which didn't want the work stoppage in the first place, tried to water it down and cowered before the threats of legal action while waving the flag. The employers' Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) declared the May 1 port shutdown an "illegal strike." But after all the huffing and puffing from the bosses' mouthpieces, the dock workers pointed the way to defeating the imperialist war by mobilizing working-class power. In the end, it was more than a work stoppage. The dock workers' May Day strike against the war was a first step, a show of what it will take to bring down the warmongers in Washington. Their "symbolic" action was felt all the way to Iraq, where dock workers in two ports stopped work in solidarity with the ILWU. But it was only a beginning. What is needed is not only industrial action but a political offensive against the Democrats and Republicans, the partner parties of American imperialism, to build a class-struggle workers party. |

This event is rain or shine!
Are you looking for like-minded progressives to hang out in the Common with? Want to cross-promote your events and campaigns on a blanket? Are you new to the area and looking for groups to get involved in? Are you psyched about building strong cross-issue coalitions while snacking and playing frisbee?
Join us as SoJust kicks off our Summer events with Socializing for Justice on Boston Common for good ole' outdoor fun! Blankets, food, frisbees, kids, dogs, musical instruments, games...If you can do it outside and you can share it with others, we'll be doing it. All of it.
No Program. No Speaker. Just us.
RSVP at www.sojust.org - newcomers always welcome!
Fee: $2 to cover group expenses.
At Socializing for Justice (SoJust) events you can hang out with friends, make new ones, find a date, get the scoop on a job, and find out what's going on this weekend - political or social. And the best part is that SoJust members share your vision of building a more just world.
Help us take over a grassy patch at the corner of Beacon and Charles Streets for outdoor family-friendly togetherness. We're testing out the radical concept of assembling in public, on blankets, with frisbees, for justice. No loud speakers necessary.

Orlando Furioso y Prometeo encadenado |
|
by Carlos Ortiz de Zárate |
04 May 2008
|
|
La escasa presencia de las acciones realizadas en conmemoración del Primero de Mayo o del Día Mundial por la Libertad de Prensa (3 de mayo) en los artículos de apertura de portada de los medios representantes de las opiniones de Francia y de España es un síntoma que se confirma el 4 de abril con la noticia de la muerte del primer presidente de gobierno español del post-franquismo. |
