DESCRIPTION:Tell Hornblower & Alcatraz Cruises to Have a Heart this Valentine's 
 Day!\n\nTerry MacRae Breaks Union Families' Hearts\n\nFebruary 14th, 
 2007\n4:30-6:30PM\nPier 3 on the Embarcadero; San Francisco, CA\n(Just 
 north of Market St.)\n\nJoin displaced Alcatraz ferry workers and 
 supporters this Valentine's Day down at Pier 3 where we will be telling 
 Hornblower and their CEO Terry MacRae to have a heart and hire the 55 
 experienced union deckhands who are currently out of work and without 
 health care. Two $160.00 per plate dinner cruises are going out on the bay 
 at 6:00pm and we will be there putting pressure on Hornblower and 
 MacRae.\n\nBring pots, pans, instruments and other various noisemakers for 
 a theatrical and spirited picket line. We will have valentines available 
 for both the passengers and MacRae telling them to have some love for San 
 Francisco's working families.\n\nUnite with us as we ask Hornblower: 
 "Where's The Love" by bringing your sweetie and/or yourself to the picket 
 line from 4:30-6:30PM. There's no better way to show affection for your 
 special someone than by fighting together for justice on the San Francisco 
 Waterfront !\n\n********************\n\nUpdate on Our Struggle:\n\nOver the 
 past 6 months members of the IBU and MMP have used many tactics in our 
 efforts to re-secure our jobs on the Alcatraz Ferry service.  We've 
 demonstrated, picketed, filed lawsuits, lobbied politicians and gotten 
 ourselves arrested (twice).  We've had many small victories including 
 costing the company millions of dollars by forcing them to pay prevailing 
 wages and stalling their expected $5.00 ticket increase.  We've built 
 alliances with other unions and community groups and have seen hundreds of 
 supporters attend our weekly Sunday picket lines.  Over the past few months 
 we've been joined on the picket line by nearly 10,000 people from the 
 anti-war movement, 8,000 from the labor movement and the hundreds of people 
 who refused to cross our picket line during the Indigenous People's Day 
 sunrise ceremony. Through these acts of solidarity we are building broad 
 based community support for our struggle.\n\nBut MacRae still refuses to do 
 what's right!\n\nStarting this Valentine's Day we will be stepping up our 
 efforts to put some real pressure on MacRae, Hornblower and Alcatraz 
 Cruises.  We will be expanding our picket line to other locations along the 
 Embacadero beyond Pier 33.  We are currently building for more actions, 
 pickets and protests leading up to the busy spring and summer tourist 
 season.  We need to let MacRae, Hornblower and the Park Service know that 
 we are not going away until they do the right thing and give these 55 
 working families their jobs, health care and benefits back! \n\n
