DESCRIPTION:Tribute to Filipino American Trade Unionists \nJoin us in saluting two 
 outstanding trade union leaders, and native sons of working class San 
 Francisco, Fred Basconcillo and Bill Sorro.       \n Fred Basconcillo, 
 Ironworkers 790, fiercely met every challenge, using his intelligence, 
 creative skills, sincerity and amazing effort to become President of 
 Ironworkers Local 790, something unthinkable for any non-white building 
 trades unionist in the United States at that time. Here in the Bay Area, 
 Fred is directly responsible for the fair contracts between the Western 
 Steel Council and Shop Ironworkers, which delivered world renown labor 
 productivity and peace to California.\n Bill Sorro, Ironworkers 378, became 
 a founding member of Ironworkers for Union Democracy.  Bill was a driving 
 force in the determined effort to save the International Hotel, and to 
 establish a permanent home for Manilatown.\nSee
