DESCRIPTION:San Francisco General Strike Walk\n\nLaborfest was organized in 1994 in 
 commemoration of the 1934 San Francisco General Strike that made San 
 Francisco a union town, and with the 1934 strikes in Minneapolis and 
 Toledo, made possible in 1935, Social Security, unemployment insurance and 
 the right to organize labor unions. \n Join the walk with Gifford Hartman 
 and others.\n Eighty-two years ago at this location, a great battle took 
 place by workers and residents of San Francisco against the police and 
 National Guard. We will look at the causes of the 1934 General Strike and 
 why it was successful. How was the strike organized and why are the issues 
 from that strike still relevant to working people today? We will also view 
 some of the key historical sites in this important US labor struggle. \nSee
