 June 20, 2010, the Labor Community Committee in Solidarity with the 
 Palestinian People  helped\norganize mass pickets on the SSA docks in the 
 Port Of Oakland to stop the loading and unloading of\nthe Zim ship Shenzehn 
 when it sailed into the port.\nThe Transport Workers Solidarity Committee 
 www.transportworkers.org which includes\nlongshore, rail and airline 
 workers supported  the call for a full labor boycott of Israeli \nships and 
 air travel worldwide.\nThe mass picket line was successful in stopping the 
 movement of cargo on the docks with\nthe solidarity of ILWU Local 10 and 
 ILWU Local 34 members for 24 hours. These trade unionists\nstood by and 
 refused to cross the picket line. An ILWU-PMA arbitrator ruled that the 
 picket\nline was a health and safety issue which allowed them under their 
 contract to\nabide by the picket line. The documentary also focuses on the 
 continuity with the ILWU \nLocal 10 &  ILWU Local 34 anti-apartheid labor 
 action against South Africa in 1984 \nwhen the South African ship Nedlloyd 
 Kimberly arrived at Pier 80 in San Francisco.\nThis labor action against 
 apartheid South Africa was an important milestone in isolating\nand 
 weakening the South African apartheid regime.\nThis solidarity action 
 against the Zim line was also the first direct labor action in the United 
 States\n by working people in solidarity with the unions and people of 
 Palestine.\nAdditional Footage by Oriana Bolden www.reelchange.org\nJohn
