 strikers\n“Bloody Thursday” July 5 commemorates the police murder of 
 maritime workers in the 1934 Big Strike which provoked the San Francisco 
 General Strike. All U.S. West Coast ports are shutdown to honor the 6 labor 
 martyrs killed during the strike.\nIn 2012, at the Marikana mine in South 
 Africa, 34 striking miners were massacred by police. ILWU Local 10 sent a 
 letter of protest to the ANC-led government. Andrew Chirwa, president of 
 the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA), the largest 
 union in that country will address workers about the massacre and miners 
 strike, the longest in South African history and the impending 
 metalworkers’ strike.\nOn July 1, both the South African metalworkers 
 union and the ILWU longshore contracts expire. NUM- SA is preparing for a 
 “full-blown strike” much like the maritime workers did in 1934. Now is 
 the time for international labor solidarity.\nOrganized by the Transport 
 Workers Solidarity Committee\nwww.transportworkers.org\nSolidarity Has No 
 Borders!\nFor more information: (510) 501-7080\n\n
