 Teamsters National Black Caucus  Brian Lewis, Chair UTU Local #239, Union 
 Pacific  Jack Heyman, member ILWU Local 10 and Transport Workers Solidarity 
 Committee  During the 2002 contract struggle, the employers lock out of 
 longshore workers was followed by Bush's invoking of the slave labor 
 Taft-Hartley act. Government and employer attacks have increased in tandem 
 with the booming globalization of trade. Transport workers around the world 
 have borne the brunte of these joint attacks- a Teamster organizer was 
 killed in El Salvador last year during an organizing drive of Maersk port 
 truckers, railroad unions in Britain and Japan have been devastated by 
 privatization, while dockworkers in Barcelona and Rotterdam protesting 
 union-busting privatization were attacked by police. What challenges for 
 workers lie ahead? How can the labor movement defend against joint attacks? 
 Come celebrate May Day and hear union officials and militant rank and file 
 transport workers address these burning questions.  When: May 1, 2005 7:00 
 PM  Where: ILWU Local 10  Henry Schmidt Room  400 North Point St.
