DESCRIPTION:Every July day has Laborfest events, some of which are missing from the red 
 letter listings. This "al fresco" textbook for all of us will teach the 
 importance of a general strike which we need to put an end to the profit

 you exercise on a free tour of the notable sites of the 1934 San Francisco 
 General Strike.\n\nJuly 18 (Saturday) 10:00 AM (Free) Meet at Harry Bridges

 Local 10 longshoreman Jack Heyman and musician David Rovics. This walk and 
 history talk will look at the causes of the 1934 General Strike and why it 
 was successful. We will discuss how the strike was organized and why the

 also walk by the key historical sites in this important US labor struggle.
