ILWU LOCKOUT--Come to the ports!!
The westcoast dockworkers have been LOCKED OUT! The ILWU requests that supporters get down to the Oakland docks immediately. Please go to the Maersk/Sealand terminal OR to the Seafarer's Hall near the Matson terminal (from SF, go over the Bay Bridge, take the Maritime exit, take a right at 7th St, and go to the end of 7th (4001 7th)). We will convene an emergency meeting of the Portworkers' Solidarity Committe in the next day or so after we have figured out more details.
