DESCRIPTION:Come to a Public Meeting about the showdown on the Oakland Docks 
 \n\nSpeakers Include: Jack Heyman, Business Agent, ILWU Local 10* Sue 
 Sandlin, Charleston 5 Defense Cmte.* & International Socialist  
 Organization\n\nSaturday, July 27\n2pm at the Oakland YWCA\n1515 Webster in 
 Downtown Oakland (at the corner of 15th and Webster, three blocks from 12th 
 Street BART)\n\nContract negotiations continue this week between 10,500 
 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the greedy 
 port bosses who \ncontrol the $260 BILLION worth of goods that flow through 
 West Coast ports every year. \n\nNow the bosses want to layoff 10% to 20% 
 of the workers to get even richer! They are getting a helping hand from the 
 Bush Administration, which claims that the workers fighting for their 
 rights are a threat to "Homeland Security." \n\nAs unemployment rises and 
 the stock market falls, the poor and workers are really suffering while the 
 criminal CEO's get a slap on the wrist and golden parachutes. \n\nA victory 
 for the dock workers will be a victory for defending good, high paying 
 union jobs for Bay Area workers of all races. \n\nOn the other side, if the 
 bosses can force the best organized, most multi-racial & most progressive 
 union in the country to take major concessions, it will signal open season 
 on the rest of the labor movement and the working class and poor people in 
 general. \n\nSponsored by the International Socialist Organization,
