SUMMARY:Oakland 1946 General Strike Walk
DESCRIPTION:Meet at the fountain in Latham Square\, at the intersection where Telegraph and Broadway converge\, across from the Rotunda Building (Oakland City Center/12th St. BART). \nWith Gifford Hartman of the Flying Picket Historical Society.\nThis year is the 72nd anniversary of the Oakland General Strike. This walk will revisit the sites of Oakland’s “Work Holiday” that spontaneously began with rankand- file solidarity with the striking\, mostly women retail clerks at Kahn’s and Hastings department stores\, where picket lines were broken by police-escorted scabs. Within 24 hours\, it involved over 100\,000 workers and shut down nearly all commerce in the East Bay for 54 hours. In 1946 there were six general strikes across the U.S.; that year set the all-time record year for strikes and work stoppages. The Oakland “Work Holiday” was the last general strike to ever occur in the U.S. This walk and history talk will attempt to keep alive the memory of this tradition of community-wide working class solidarity.
