The workers won their two major goals in the 1934 strike: the establishment of a coastwide longshore contract and the creation of a jointly-operated Hiring Hall. Up until the strike, workers had no control over how jobs were assigned. The Hiring Hall gave the union control over assigning jobs, meaning dignity for workers. The coastwide contract has been in place continuously since 1934 and next comes up for renegotiation in 2008.
Strike. Don't scab.
