DESCRIPTION:In 1987, a militant mass strike wave took place in South Africa against the 
 apartheid regime. This strike involved railway workers, teachers, public 
 workers and the entire Black labor movement. To commemorate this strike, 
 Brother Robert Mashego 2nd Vice President of SATAWU from Johannesburg, 
 South Africa who was in the strike has been invited to speak. We will also 
 show a video of that strike, a video The Long March, The BTR Strike and a 
 video of the 1984 Action Against Aparthied at Pier 80 in San Francisco and 
 the support for this action by ILWU Local 10. \n"COSATU and The Freedom 
 Charter": This valuable historical video record of the 1987 strike wave 
 against the apartheid regime of South Africa covers the miners, railway 
 workers, auto workers and the strike rallies and actions during that year. 
 Union members speak out throughout the film and debate at the COSATU 
 Congress the role of their unions and why they need a “Freedom 
 Charter.” This film is a critical resource in understanding and depicting 
 the working class struggle in South Africa against apartheid and for 
 workers power. \n"The Long March, The BTR Strike": Follows the NUMSA 
 Sarmcol strike. This strike of the BTR workers in South Africa won support 
 from throughout the world including the Bay Area. The workers organized 
 collectives to raise funds through the production of t-shirts and other 
 products. These workers wrote plays about their struggle and fought 
 starvation and many assassination attacks by government and company 
 supporters. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/06/23/18430294.php
