DESCRIPTION:The displaced workers from the Inland Boatmen's Union and Master Mates and 
 Pilots Union will be having our regular Sunday picket at pier 33 at the 
 Alcatraz Cruises dock from 
 10am-noon.\n\nhttp://www.alcatrazunion.com\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, thousands 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 weeks 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
