DESCRIPTION:Join the Inland Boatmen's Union and the Masters Mates and Pilots Union on 
 our weekly Sunday picket line at Alcatraz 
 Cruises.\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\nOver the next few days 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
