DESCRIPTION:Wed., July 24, 12 noon 550 California St., San Francisco (between 
 Montgomery &\nKearny Sts.(headquarters of the Pacific Maritime Association 
 bosses)\n\nDefend Portworkers' Rights! \nThe International Longshore & 
 Warehouse Union (ILWU) is in a stand-off with\nthe Pacific Maritime 
 Association (PMA), the Bush Administration, and a\ncoalition of corporate 
 interests (WalMart, The Gap, Nike, etc.) The PMA bosses\nare trying to 
 slash hard-won health benefits and break the union by using\ntechnology to 
 oursource jobs. Workers and progressive people across the West\nCoast are 
 ornganizing to defend to the ILWU workers, whose jobs help set 
 the\nstandard for workers' rights and wages.\n\nNo Government 
 Union-Busting!\nClaiming this is an issue of "Homeland Security," Tom Ridge 
 has threatened\ngovernment intervention if the dockworkers decide to 
 strike. Don't let the\nBush Administration turn its "endless war" against 
 the workers! Real national\nsecurity is security of our jobs and health 
 care, not attacks on immirgrant\nand workers' rights.\n\nAn Injury to One 
 is an Injury to All!\nThe ILWU workers have a long history of struggle and 
 solidarity . The union\ngrew out of the militant maritime and general 
 strike in San Francisco in 1934.\nThey took the lead in fighting apartheid 
 in South Africa by refusing to\nunloadd cargo. They supported the SF 
 newspaper workers strike in 1994 by\nrefusing to unoald the newsprint. They 
 shut down the West Coast ports to\ndefend Mumia Abu-Jamal and shut them 
 down again during the WTO meetings. They\nhave deep roots in our 
 communities: Now they need our support! Don't miss this\nimportant 
 solidarity rally!\n\nSponsored by the California Labor Federation; AFL-CIO, 
 ILWU; San Francisco\nLabor Council; SEIU 790; Teamsters\nTo endorse or for
