ILWU local 10 (SF Bay) has initiated a call to close all west coast ports for a shift on May 1 in solidarity with the Iraqi people and the Iraqi labor movement in particular. The West Coast Longshore Council has ratified this call. They are also calling on unions and working people across the country to take some job action on May 1 to stop production for a time (even a minute or two) or do a lunch-break program to mark opposition to the war and solidarity with Iraqis. Support is pouring in from the Letter carriers' Union, Santa Clara County Labor Council, New York City Labor Against the War, and from Unite the Union (Europe). Please, you do something in support. Write a letter to: International Longshore and Warehouse Union, AFL-CIO, 1188 Franklin Street, 4th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94109 or send an email: info@ilwu.org. SVIC has discussed actions that it will take in support of this tremendously important development in the struggle.
