 Universalist Church\n1187 Franklin St., SF\n(Facing ILWU International 
 Headquarters)\n\nILWU members stop scab grain train in Longview\nThe 
 ILWU has a proud history of class struggle and the fight for democratic 
 principles codified in the Ten Guiding Principles of the ILWU. Today ILWU 
 officials flaunt these union principles, using top down control to direct 
 longshore workers to cross picket lines and keep contract negotiations 
 secret while the PMA gives the contract to the maritime employers’ 
 Journal Of Commerce. This contract\ngives employers a free hand to automate 
 without counter demands of shorter shifts tied to wage in- creases and 
 follows on the tail of the concessionary grain contracts at EGT and the 
 Northwest Grain agreements. Left unchecked, it will gut ILWU’s coastwide 
 power and bury the last militant union in the U.S.\nAnthony Leviege, 
 activist member ILWU Local 10\nStacey Rodgers, Executive Board member ILWU 
 Local 10\nJack Mulcahy*, member ILWU Local 8 Portland, grain
