 Paulson - Executive Director San Francisco Labor Council\n\n CAMPAIGN TO 
 FREE THE CHARLESTON FIVE !\n\nIn 2000 the Black majority ILA Local 1422 was 
 targeted by the South Carolina government for its activism, including 
 seeking to remove the Confederate flag  from the State Capitol. Just days 
 after their participation in the biggest civil rights protest in 40 yrs. 
 and the biggest in S.C. history (46,000 people), 600 police  attacked their 
 picket at a scab terminal operation.  5 longshoremen were arrested on 
 trumped up charges. The struggle to free them and stop the scab operation  
 was won with international solidarity action and support around the 
 country.         \n\nSTUGGLE AGAINST DEL MONTE and HOLT SCABBING\n\non the 
 EAST COAST\n\nIn Sept. 2010 Del Monte announced it would move its 
 banana/pineapple import\n\noperation from Philadelphia ILA Local 1291 port 
 (wage $17 hr.+ up) across the\n\nriver to non-union Holt Logistics(wage 
 $8.50 hr.+ up). On Labor Day ILA 1291  \n\nMembers dumped pineapples into 
 the Delaware River. Then on Sept.28 – 29   \n\nrank and file pickets 
 sparked a wildcat strike that shutdown N.Y./N.J. (3,600     \n\nILA 
 members) and Baltimore (1,000 ILA) Ports. This struggle has now turned 
 to\n\n a boycott of Del Monte produce.                                      
                                \n\n\nPUBLIC WELCOME !   Sponsored By ILWU
