Port Of Oakland Labor/Community Mass Picket Stops Loading Of Israeli Zim Ship For 24 Hours

On June 20, 2010, a labor and community picket line was put up at the SSA terminal at the port of Oakland to protest the Israeli Zim Shenzhen ship. The picket was called to protest the Israeli blockade of Gaza and the apartheid wall. The committee called the Labor/Community Committee in Solidarity with the People of Palestine brought hundreds to the picket line including many trade unionists. The Transport Workers Solidarity Committee TWSC www.transportworkers.org is working to support an international labor blockade of Israel. Dockworkers from Sweden and Norway will also be launching a labor boycott of all cargo and ships from Israel starting June 15, 2010.
