DESCRIPTION:Oakland 1946 General Strike Walk\nWith Gifford Hartman of the Flying Picket 
 Historical Society.\n This year is the 72nd anniversary of the Oakland 
 General Strike. This walk will revisit the sites of Oakland’s “Work 
 Holiday” that spontaneously began with rank and file solidarity with the 
 striking, mostly women retail clerks at Kahn’s and Hastings department 
 stores, where picket lines were broken by police-escorted scabs. Within 24 
 hours, it involved over 100,000 workers and shut down nearly all commerce 
 in the East Bay for 54 hours. In 1946 there were six general strikes across 
 the U.S.; that year set the all-time record year for strikes and work 
 stoppages. The Oakland “Work Holiday” was the last general strike to 
 ever occur in the U.S. This walk and history talk will attempt to keep 
 alive the memory of this tradition of community-wide working class 
 solidarity. \nSee
