> are working,
> if possible, take the day off!!

> To all those who have supported us on the picket who aren't IBU or

> There will be a march with union contingents (try to get your union 
> banner and a contingent for the march) from the ferry building at 9:15 
> to pier 33 for a rally that
> should last at least until noon.  If you can't make the march,
> show up for the 10:00 am rally. Solidarity must be more than a just a

> For the past two months Bay Area maritime union members have been 
> picketing daily in a struggle to maintain union wages and working 
> conditions.

> Terry Macrae’s Alcatraz Cruises (a subsidiary of Hornblower) refuses 
> to hire IBU and MM&P members who have worked on the Alcatraz ferry 
> since 1973.

> The International Longshore and Warehouse Union was born out of the 
> 1934 San Francisco Maritime and General Strike.
>
> Since then, the ILWU has maintained good wages and working conditions 
> on the entire Bay Area waterfront. The current assault by Hornblower 
> is a direct attack at the heart of ILWU jurisdiction and demands a 
> powerful response!
>
> In a show of solidarity ILWU Local 10 voted for a port-wide shutdown 
> in support of the IBU & MMP workers.
>
> This is call for all union members and their allies to join us on the 
> picket line Pier 31/33, The Embarcadero, San Francisco, December 9, 
> 2006 at 10 AM.
