Brief update on Port of Oakland troqueros

by gifford (giffordwork [at] yahoo.com)
There was no action at the Port of Oakland this morning, and here's a brief report back. (Monday 6/28)
There were 10 of us there just after 6 AM. We talked with a few drivers, but none seemed aware of any appeals for them to strike Oakland. We talked to a support person in LA by cell phone and heard about major stoppage at the ports in LA. We held up signs announcing the LA strike and got lots of positive responses and many troqueros said they'd be back at the port to picket tomorrow.

Many of us community solidarity supporters will be back there again at 6 AM Tuesday in case there is a strike in Oakland.

Please come on down to show your support.
