DESCRIPTION:Privatization, the Port of Oakland and Labor\n\nSan Francisco used to be 
 the largest port in Northern California. Over the last forty years, it has 
 become a tourist trap instead of a working port. Is the same thing in store 
 for the Port of Oakland?\n\nThe Oakland A’s baseball team, which is owned 
 by John Fisher, who owns the GAP Corporation in San Francisco, wants to 
 turn the Howard Terminal into a stadium, and build 4,000 $1 million dollar 
 condos to finance the project.\n\nHoward Terminal is a staging area for 
 truckers, so they can stay off the streets of Oakland, and also is used for 
 training of ILWU Local 10 longshore workers. There is a battle now shaping 
 up about this development, and how it will affect maritime jobs as well as 
 the gentrification of the historic African American community in West 
 Oakland.\n\nFisher and his family also run the KIPP and Rocketship charter 
 school chains, which is pushing privatization of education in San 
 Francisco, Oakland, and throughout the country.\n\nInitial Speakers: 
 Gabriel Prawl, ILWU Local 52 President, Clarence Thomas, ILWU Local 10 
 Secretary Treasurer, retired; Jack Heyman, ILWU Local 10 former business 
 agent\n\nhttps://laborfest.net/event/privatization-the-port-of-oakland-and-labor/\n
