No Work Today! Justice For Oscar Grant! ILWU Shuts Bay Area Ports October 23, 2010
On October 23, 2010, the ILWU shut down Northern California ports to support
a rally for justice for Oscar Grant. Grant was murdered by BART policeman Johannes
Mehserle and the ILWU and other unions are demanding that the killer get a full
sentence of 14 years. This was the first labor action to protest the growing repression
of Black and Latino youth by police forces. Other unions joining the ILWU included
the Oakland Education Association, SEIU 1021, CUE-IBT UCB and rank and file
members of BART ATU 1555.
