DESCRIPTION:The 1934 San Francisco longshore strike which launched a general strike as 
 a result of the murder of two workers Nicolas Bordoise a striking seaman 
 and Howard Sperry a strike supporter in San Francisco and 4 other workers 
 up and down the West Coast. This forum will screen the film and follow it 
 up with a discussion on the lessons of this strike for today.\n\nThis 16th 
 annual Laborfest is in commemoration of the 1934 General Strike, including 
 the July 5, 1934 "Bloody Thursday," when 2 workers, Howard Sperry and Nick 
 Bordoise, were shot and killed in San Francisco by police forces during the 
 longshore and maritime strike. This incident brought about the San 
 Francisco General Strike which shut down the entire city and led to 
 hundreds of thousands of workers joining the trade union movement. The ILWU 
 continues to recognize "Bloody Thursday" by shutting down all West Coast 
 ports every July 5. It is because of the 1934 general strikes in San 
 Francisco, Minneapolis and Toledo that we won the 1935 Social Security Act 
 and 1935 Unemployment Insurance 
 Act.\nhttp://www.koce.org/video/bloodyThurs.mov\nSee
