Forum Post: September 30 - Possible National Port Strike - Get Involved?

While very little mention has been made about this in the news, a date is fast approaching where the ILA, with the support of numerous other maritime labor unions around the country, will be launching a national strike. This will span from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico at a minimum. Meetings have already occurred where protests zones have been planned out by the police for the possible strike around the NYC/NJ ports, which at the moment will be in the ports in front of the terminals.

Here is an article on the general matter: http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz-longshoremen-talks-20120918,0,7519555.story

Has OWS contacted anyone at the ILA about supporting this? If not, their contact info is:
