International Longshoremen Association President Harold Daggett on the Port Strike:

“I will cripple you and you have no idea what that means, nobody does.”

It's going to get real folks, this is NOT a drill, it's NOT a time to procrastinate 🤔

Workers at the port of Barcelona in Spanish-occupied Catalonia announced their refusal to allow any ships carrying weapons to operate inside the port, rejecting the violence practiced by Israel in the occupied territories, and accusing the UN of failing to carry out its role.

Unionized dockworkers have the right to staff every job at a new container terminal in South Carolina under a federal court decision — but there is no guarantee that a $1 billion loading site that has sat largely idle will soon resume activity. A three-judge panel on Friday denied an appeal from the South Carolina State Ports Authority that would have instead maintained the fairly unique “hybrid” model that relies on state and union employees. The ruling handed a victory to International Longshoremen’s Association members in the least unionized state seeking to hold onto jobs after technological changes last century that threatened their work. The labor dispute began when the ILA sued the United States Maritime Alliance for sending shipping lines to Hugh K. Leatherman Terminal shortly after the completion of its first phase two years ago. The union alleged the move violated the terms of a master contract prohibiting the use of newly constructed terminals where ILA dockworkers do not perform all unloading tasks.

Longshoremen, July 1937. This shows the prevailing method of transferring bananas from the end on the conveyor that carried them from the hold of the ship onto the dock. They were then carried on the men's shoulders across the dock and into freight cars by the East River to freight trains going westward. In this photo, the boat has just arrived from Mexico with "Mexican Gold" bananas. This is Pier No. 13, East River, New York and Cuba Mail Steamship Line.

I hope everyone has stocked up your necessities? If not, I suggest you stock up on food, water, toilet paper and whatever else you may need. This may have a HUGE effect on the shelves in stores. 🤔

Cleophas Williams was a courageous working-class organizer, a fighter for social justice and the rights of workers nationally and internationally. He believed the struggle for social justice, equality, and dignity was a workers’ struggle.

Aim your Complaints at the US Maritine Alliance. They are holding the economy hostage by hoarding the surplus value of the workers.
