Dockworkers, members of the Inteernational Longshore and
Warehouse Union, and supporters rallied and marched in the Port of Oakland on
May Day, to protest the plan to build a ballpark and luxury housing on port
land, jeapordizing the port's operation and dockworker jobs.
Building trades workers in downtown Oakland celebrated May
Day for the first time in memory, protesting the growth of non-union
construction. In Oakland, suppossedly a
union town, 90% of the many new office and condo buildings are now built
without union workers.
