Longshore Workers, Truckers: Shut the Ports, Coast to Coast!
30-12-2011 01:23
Ports up and down the West Coast were blockaded, from Seattle to San Diego. Despite a barrage of hostile propaganda in the media, opposition from union bureaucrats and heavy police repression in some places, overall the blockade was successful – this time. The blockade was called in solidarity with longshore workers fighting a union-busting assault in Longview, Washington and with port truckers seeking union recognition in the ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach. This support should have been greeted. Instead, the union bureaucracy attacked the port blockade, although longshore workers respected the picket lines. But now the class war on the West Coast docks is coming to a head, and it can’t be waged from the outside. Bay Area labor has called for a caravan to Longview. The goal should be a real occupation of the terminal by the workers to prevent the loading of the scab cargo. Longshore militants have called on the longshore unions to shut down every port on the West Coast, and the East and Gulf Coasts, to smash EGT’s union-busting. Can it be done? Yes, but only though sharp struggle against the pro-capitalist labor bureaucracy."Consultation on police powers to promote and maintain public order"

Occupy Notttingham: Xmas and New Year in Market Sq
28-12-2011 12:55
Now almost two and a half months in, the Occupy Nottingham protest camp in Market Square continued through Christmas. The campers have now invited supporters to join them in Market Square on New Year's Eve, to "stand together to begin 2012 as one voice for change & an end to greed!" Meanwhile, occupiers in Leicester have decided to move indoors in order to help "sustain us over the cold winter."
Upcoming: Invitation to join Occupy Nottingham on New Year’s Eve in the Market Square

Yet. | NSAFC Report on @OccupyNotts 36 Days In | Occupy Nottingham: Still there | Occupy Nottingham: Moved but still in occupation | Nottingham Occupation Continues | Nottingham is occupied
The Nottingham camp, part of a global network of occupations, was started on October 15th.
On Christmas Day itself, the campers sent out a brief seasonal message to supporters: "Merry Christmas & Yuletide Greetings from all the occupiers on the Market Place! :-)"
Local photographer Alan Lodge (Tash) visited the camp every day over the Christmas period and reported finding "many there in good spirits. It was so nice to get the occasional greetings from passers-by."
Before the Christmas period, a larger structure was constructed to shield those campers against the elements. The weather becoming increasingly changeable.

Occupy Nottingham: still going strong over Xmas

The occupation at Market Square, Nottingham continues .......
Before the christmas period, a larger structure was constructed to shield those campers against the elements. The weather becoming increasingly changable.
I visited the camp every day over the xmas period and found many there in good spirits. It was so nice to get the occasional greetings from passers-by.
I think those holding out against the elements for these issues, need to be congratulated for their commitments and deserve help and support from us.
Please drop by and offer your time, help, donations of food, bedding, waterproofing, warm clothing ...... oh, a bit of love.
