DESCRIPTION:Oakland 1946 General Strike Walk\nWith Gifford Hartman of the Flying Picket 
 Historical Society. This walk will revisit the sites of Oakland’s “Work 
 Holiday” that began spontaneously with rank-and-file solidarity with the 
 striking, mostly women, retail clerks at Kahn’s and Hastings department 
 stores whose picket line was being broken by scabs escorted by police. \n\n 
 Within 24 hours, it involved over 100,000 workers and shut down nearly all 
 commerce in the East Bay for 54 hours. In 1946 there were six general 
 strikes across the U.S.; that year set the all-time record year for strikes 
 and work stoppages. The Oakland “Work Holiday” was the last general 
 strike to ever occur in the U.S.. This walk and history talk will attempt 
 to keep alive the memory of this tradition of community-wide working class 
 solidarity.\n\nSee
