The IWW Environmental
Unionist Caucus announced they will protest the Koch Bros PetCoke
Facility today Monday, April 28 in Pittsburg; the Chevron Refinery
tomorrow Tuesday, April 29 in Richmond; and Crude by Rail at the Union
Pacific’s Ozal Train Yard in St. April 30 Martinez, Calif.
Union organizer and environmental activist Elliot Hughes released a
statement this morning that his organization would be taking several
direct actions over the next 3 days to orchestrate a general strike of
the poor, the unemployed, and the working class. “Our goal is the
liberation of the people on the planet that is our home. With the
increasing amount of industrial disasters, we cannot wait any longer
because the health and safety of all workers of the world is on the
line.”
Hughes furthered that, "We must reclaim our lives and the land from
the ruling class that oppress us every moment. I call on the workers of
the world to form a united front and spend this next year to prepare for
a global general strike. We build strike support in the form of
self-sufficiency and mutual aid, as well as sharing our skills and
trades with all. From guerrilla gardening and land reclamation to wildcat strikes and workplace take overs there are many ways to abolish wage slavery and live in harmony with the earth." MORE
