May Day anti-war strike
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union-ILWU Local 10 sponsored a May Day march and rally in San Francisco to protest the ongoing occupation of Iraq. The longshore workers' one-day strike all along the West Coast was over 90% successful. They were joined by longshore workers in Iraq, who struck for two hours in solidarity. Messages from other unions internationally, from Iraq, England and elsewhere were read. Many unions, individual workers, and May Day celebrants who joined the ILWU, brought this workers' holiday alive for today.
