ILWU Local 10 Moves to Stop the Fascists in San Francisco

On August 17, International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 10 voted
an urgent motion for labor mobilization to “Stop the Fascists in San
Francisco.” The dock workers, who have a long history of port shutdowns
against racism, war and police terror, aim to prevent a repeat of last
week’s murderous Nazi/white supremacist attack in Charlottesville,
Virginia. Fascist groups have announced a weekend of potentially deadly
provocations in the Bay Area on August 26-27. Some of those involved in
the Charlottesville Nazi march are reportedly planning to attend.
Pointing to the example of Portland, Oregon where members of 14 local
unions mobilized against a racist/fascist provocation on June 4, ILWU
Local 10 motion stated, that “the San Francisco Bay Area is a union
stronghold and we will not allow labor-hating white supremacists to
bring their lynch mob terror here.” By using the power of independent
working-class action to stop the fascists, they can point the way for
all labor and the oppressed at this critical moment.
