ILWU to Shut Down West Coast Ports May 1 Demanding End to War in Iraq, Afghanistan

In a major step for the U.S. labor movement, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) has announced that it will shut down West Coast ports on May 1, to demand an immediate end to the war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East. In a February 22 letter to AFL-CIO president John Sweeney, ILWU International president Robert McEllrath reported that at a recent coast-wide union meeting, “One of the resolutions adopted by caucus delegates called on longshore workers to stop work during the day shift on May 1, 2008 to express their opposition to the war in Iraq.”

Με λίγα λόγια :Οι λιμενεργάτες θα κλείσουν όλα τα δυτικά λιμάνια των ΗΠΑ την 1η Μάη, με αίτημα να τερματιστεί ο πόλεμος και η κατοχή στο Ιράκ και το Αφγανιστάν.
