    hat tip: ufcw.net

    San Francisco Hotel Strike By Richard Mellor, Labors Militant Voice.
    The union is having a rally Tuesday at 4.15 to let folks burn off steam.

    Oh, I forgot, strike bulletin #3 is upbeat, Danny Glover walked the picket line for a while along with 50 carpenters Union Members (full-time officials)

    It is hard to go to these lines in a way because you see the dedication and the class solidarity on the line, people are so glad when you come to support their efforts. But, for so many of them, the issue of strategy and tactics is something they leave to the leaders which has disastrous results. As time goes on, like the grocery strike and strikes before it, the members come to see what is happening and, in many cases, end up hating the union for it.
