DESCRIPTION:2009 marks the 75th anniversary of "The Big Strike," when longshore workers 
 up and down the west coast shut down the ports for more than two months, to 
 be joined in San Francisco by dozens of other unions for a General Strike 
 in the summer of 1934. The General Strike led to a surge in unionization 
 and and an important milestone in the fight for racial equality. All this 
 despite an economic depression.\n\nJoin us for a discussion of the 
 relevance of this struggle for the new fights we face today!\n\nSaturday, 
 May 9th at 6:00pm\nPlumbers Hall\n1621 Market Street @ Gough Street\nSan 
 Francisco, CA\n\n\nFeatured Speakers:\n\nClarence Thomas, former Secretary
