#DockWorkers/#longshoremen in France agreed, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1949, to block all outgoing cargo to #FrenchIndochina, in solidarity with #anticolonial resistance. Marseille, Nice, Toulon, and other Mediterranean ports refused to handle cargo for #Vietnam, Laos, & Cambodia.

His career is a testament to the ability of working people to combat arbitrary employer control and improve the living and working conditions of regular people. #harrybridges #laborhistory #unions #workingclass #longshoremen

Plaque commemorating the 1934 San Francisco General Strike. Reads: In memory of Howard Sperry and Nick Bourdoise, who gave their lives on Bloody Thursday July 5, 1934 so that all working people might enjoy a greater measure of dignity and security. Sperry and Bordoise were fatally shot by San Francisco police at the intersection of Mission and Steuart Streets, when longshoremen and seamen attempted to stop maritime employers from breaking their joint strike. Community outrage at these killings sparked a General Strike by all San Francisco unions. The maritime strike continued through the middle of summer, concluding with a union victory which brought decent conditions to the shipping industry and set the stage for the rebirth of a strong and democratic labor movement on the west coast. "An Injury to One is an Injury to All"

I feel it is bad news when the Port of Seattle webcam looks like this.

I assume it is normally full of containers and dock workers and truck drivers.
