 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.\n\nIn 2012, in 
 Marikana, 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 
 miners strike, the longest in South African history and the impending 
 metalworkers’ strike.\n\nOn July 1 both the South African metalworkers 
 union and the ILWU longshore contracts expire. NUMSA is preparing for a 
 “full-blown strike” much like the maritime workers did in 
 1934.\n\n\n\nOrganized by the Transport Workers Solidarity Committee\n
