The ILWU leads protests against transfer of Oakland’s Howard Terminal to city’s baseball team
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union, working in the interests of Oakland’s wider maritime community, yesterday held a rally to protest against the possible transfer of Howard Terminal, a 55-acre site in the Port of Oakland, to the Oakland Athletics baseball team for use as a stadium
The port was closed for eight hours on Wednesday as part of an annual May Day agreement between the union and the port’s terminal operators
