DESCRIPTION:Oakland 1946 General Strike Walk\n\nWith Gifford Hartman of the Flying 
 Picket Historical Society.\n\nThis year is the 73rd 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.\n\nWithin 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.\n\nSee also:
