This Is Our Port! May Day 2019 Speakers At Oakland Howard Terminal

Hundreds of longshore workers from the bay area, LA and Canada along with other trade unionists joined the May Day Rally at the Port of Oakland initiated by ILWU Local 10. They protested the threatened privatization of the port and the building of the A's Stadium by billionaire owner and union busters John Fisher. Fisher and his family also control the KIPP and Rocketship charter school chain. Also joining them were other speakers including CWA AFA president Sara Nelson. She spoke about the reasons she called for a general strike. Oakland Teachers Association president Keith Brown also spoke about public education and the lack of funding while money was available for stadiums.
