The Coast Guard is being used to escort a grain ship to the Port of Longview, WA where a corporation named EGT is trying to bust the ILWU, which has had jurisdiction over all longshore work there for more than 7 decades. [read details below]

Using the U.S. military against American workers represents a grave erosion of our rights and liberties.

The last time that happened was in 1981 when Reagan used military air traffic controllers to replace striking PATCO workers. American workers have been paying for that ever since because not enough workers and unions spoke up at the time to object.

We need to drown the president and our congressional representatives with messages that strongly object to any use of our military against American workers and our unions. We need your help to make this protest effective.
Send a message HERE.

It's quick and easy. Tell Obama and Congress "NO MORE PATCOs! Don't use our military to help bust unions!"

Please share this alert with your social networks. Post it to your Facebook page. Tweet about it. Send messages to coworkers, colleagues and friends. Ask unions, labor councils and other social justice and peace organizations to register their protest.*

Thanks for your help.
