 Defend Solidarity Actions! Defend ILWU Local 10 Letter A Clarion Call! "I
would like to express my strong support and admiration for the
Longshore Solidarity Action. The assault on labor, and on elementary
rights generally, is a severe and growing danger to the health of our
society, and the labor movement should be at the forefront, as it has
been in the past, in defending hard-won rights and advancing them
further." Noam Chomsky "In my view, the SF Longshore Union’s action in support of Wisconsin state workers was entirely consistent with the basic principle of union solidarity in America. With a declining share of the nation’s total income, a rising share going to the richest 1 percent, and a coordinated attack by Republicans on unions, it’s vitally important that working people stick together to preserve, protect, and enhance their bargaining rights."

At our monthly meeting this past Monday night, the delegates to the South Central
Federation of Labor, by unanimous vote, directed me to convey to Local
10 our heartfelt thank you for the solidarity your members showed on
April 4. The South Central Federation of Labor consists of 95 labor unions representing some 45,000 union members in the greater Madison, Wisconsin, area.
Whether it’s racist apartheid in South
Africa, imperialist war in Iraq, or fascist plutocracy in Wisconsin,
Local 10, over and over again, shows us “What a Union [should] look
like!!”
Please convey our appreciation to your members and kick some PMA ass on April 25. In Solidarity, Jim
