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. Production of Labor Video Project P.O.

Afternoon Picket Shuts Down Israeli Zim Lin Line at the Port of Oakland, 6/20/10: video : Indybay

ILWU dock workers chose not to cross a large and boisterous early morning picket at three gates of Berth 58 at the Port of Oakland. Labor and community activists returned in the afternoon to blockade again and assure no cargo from the Israeli Zim Lines ship would be unloaded on June 20th, 2010. In this video, speakers celebrate the conclusion of the historic picket, the first time in the U.S. that a protest has stopped an Israeli ship from unloading.
