THE ILWU West Coast longshore workers have voted to “stop work to protest the US war and occupation on Iraq and Afghanistan on May Day 2008,” the ILWU said. All 29 ports on the U.S. West Coast are to be shut down for eight hours.
The longshore workers also called on the AFL-CIO, Change To Win (CTW) and other labor organizations to join them in action on May Day “against the war and to commemorate the International Workers Holiday.”
*don’t tell my boss I said that.
