 47, 8, 88When ILWU Local 10 stopped work on May 1, 2015 to protest police 
 terror from Ferguson to Baltimore to the Bay Area, it received a statement 
 of solidarity from the National Union Of Metal Workers of South Africa. 
 NUMSA is the largest and most militant union in South Africa representing 
 350,000 workers including not only metal workers but also dockworkers and 
 airline workers.Continuing privatization and deregulation has caused 
 increased impoverishment in the black townships and rural areas. The 2012 
 massacre of striking mineworkers in Marikana by police of the ANC 
 government was the catalyst for NUMSA to call for a United Front to begin 
 the process of uniting the working class and oppressed and the formation of 
 an independent workers party. NUMSA has also fought the recent bloody 
 attacks against migrant workers in South Africa that has led to many 
 deaths.Dinga Sikwebu is the NUMSA Director of Education and has been 
 involved in the formation of this United Front. He will be visiting ILWU 
 Local 10 in San Francisco and speaking about his union’s experience and 
 the lessons of their struggles. This is important not only for South 
 African workers but US working people who also face police terror and 
 similar attacks on their wages, jobs and workers rights.Sponsored by ILWU
