DESCRIPTION:Walk - San Francisco General Strike of 1934\nJoin the walk with Gifford 
 Hartman and others.\n Eighty-three years ago at this location, a great 
 battle took place by workers and residents of San Francisco against the 
 police and National Guard. \n 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. \n\nLaborfest began in 1994 to commemorate the 1934 general 
 strike that made San Francisco a union town, and together with the 1934 
 General Strikes in Minneapolis and Toledo, made possible in 1935, the 
 passage of the Social Security and Unemployment Insurance Act, and the 
 legalizing of  the right to organize labor unions with the Wagner Act. See
