Hungry Mile to Hollywood

MUA national secretary Paddy Crumlin backs ILWU and US workers on Hollywood to the Docks workers' rights campaign at Hungry Mile dedication: "We extend our solidarity to all the American working men and women," he said. "We are with you in heart, we are with you in spirit, we are walking shoulder to shoulder from Hollywood down the docks in LA."
The ILWU Local 10 Drill Team kicked off the 28-mile march organised by
the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO. The Federation
organised the march to spotlight and support the 350,000 workers whose
unions will be negotiating new contracts this year--including those in
the ILWU Longshore Division. ILWU President Bob McEllrath speaks from the Hungry Mile, Sydney Australia, ILWU Secretary Treasurer Willie Adams returns to the USA on April 17th to address the rally in LA.
