DOCKERS walked out on strike across the US west coast today in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement on the anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the state of Texas.
The date is known as “Juneteenth” and saw 29 ports shut down for eight hours as the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) pledged support for all those fighting structural racism and inequality.
It followed a previous stoppage on June 9 when union members downed tools for eight minutes and 46 seconds in silent tribute to George Floyd during his funeral.
