ILWU members stop scab grain train in Longview
The ILWU has a proud history of class struggle and the fight for democratic principles codified in the Ten Guiding Principles of the ILWU. Today ILWU officials flaunt these union principles, using top down control to direct longshore workers to cross picket lines and keep contract negotiations secret while the PMA gives the contract to the maritime employers’ Journal Of Commerce. This contract
gives employers a free hand to automate without counter demands of shorter shifts tied to wage in- creases and follows on the tail of the concessionary grain contracts at EGT and the Northwest Grain agreements. Left unchecked, it will gut ILWU’s coastwide power and bury the last militant union in the U.S.
Anthony Leviege, activist member ILWU Local 10
Stacey Rodgers, Executive Board member ILWU Local 10
Jack Mulcahy*, member ILWU Local 8 Portland, grain negotiator
Dan Coffman*, former president of Longview ILWU Local 21
Howard Keylor, retired member of ILWU Local 10, an organizer of the historic 1984 longshore
anti-Apartheid strike
Jack Heyman, retired member of ILWU Local 10, organizer of militant port actions

ALL ABOARD Thee Promised Land Express : POWERPOINT
TO our own Spiritual Royalty let us acknowledge & Annoint
into a World of Lies we all were born....
and by such painful Illusions our Spirits torn...
the Dark Side indeed be in service to greed....
regardless of wants they be things we don't need....
Oppression we see has for sure many Faces....
a Genocide be their cure of Life Loving Races....
and so many so busy when pointing out who's to Blame
Thee 40 Day Strike be thee only means winning this Game
cease paying any attention to their media hype psychology
They be fearful indeed of the Harry Bridges EXPRESS.....
like Cesar Chavez Great Grape Boycott does more than address.....
like both Gandhi and King by lengthy Actions the WORKERS did Sing......
this be why the True Spirit of Christ ....
has been so undermined by religions to Heist....
for surely he'd flog the goddamn usurist bankers...
cease every slaughterhouse so too oil tankers....
which be precisely why WE NOW Embrace Almighty's Prophecy....knowing all American churches by law are "Non-Prophets'....get it....you see !!!
FIFTY THOUSAND MIGRANTE Farmworkers this moment be STRIKING......
and apparently in Argentina this Action they be LIKING !
for there the TRANSPORT WORKERS have shut it all down
can't catch a taxi a train or a bus or a plane in any ARGENTINA town....
Prophecy Commands us thee 40 Day General Strike...
thereby ceasing mammon & attaining by Love as we'd Like
To cease all the cursed free FREE all the animals FIRST...
Then Freeing Leonard Peltier as for True Freedom we Thirst
and NOW Engaging Ten Million New Gardens....
having ceased their fearful screams....inviting them all to the Field of Dreams....all those scheduled for the slaughterhouse...so too thee magnificent Whale and the playful mouse....yesss...all Innocents pardons......
Cactus Pete often bitter sometimes sweet
see: "Peter Tscherneff king of Masterpiece Theatre"
