I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

From Chronicle columnist Andrew S. Ross this weekend, \u003ca href=\"http://articles.sfgate.com/2011-12-08/business/30489379_1_shutdown-international-longshore-warehouse-union\">Union not keen on new Occupy Oakland\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp> (T)he folks [protesters] purport to be in solidarity with don't seem hot on the idea to \"effectively shut down the hubs of commerce\" at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \"Any actions organized by outside groups, including the proposed Dec. 12 shutdown of various terminals on the West Coast, have not been vetted by our union's democratically led process,\" the International Longshore and Warehouse Union said. \"Any decisions made by groups outside of the union's democratic process do not hold water, regardless of the intent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> The Occupy movements that make a fetish of applying direct democracy and near absolute consensus to its own decision making might want to take note of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Richard Mead, president of ILWU Local 10, which represents dockworkers at the Port of Oakland, said, \"Our position is in the international's press release. We're not facilitating (Occupy Oakland's strike call) in any way. We just want that clear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Jeff Smith, president of ILWU Local 8 in Portland, Ore., went further, telling the Portland Tribune his union won't honor picket lines. \"This is a third-party strike. We have to go to work,\" he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But the Occupy movement says the union rank and file supported the protest. Occupy Oakland's Barucha Peller, who participated in the organizing of the attempted port shutdowns, said this to KQED's Mina Kim during the planning stages of the port action:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The rank and file traditionally will honor community picket lines around social justice issues. I think the longshoremen are not unaware of the aims of the Occupy movement and a lot of those aims speak to them as well. Rank and file are also part of the Occupy movement, not separate. Across the board, rank and file union members as well as non-unionized workers, make up a large part of the Occupy movement.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But whether the majority of affected union members actually supported yesterday's action -- or not -- I'm not sure anyone really knows. Here's a comment we received on the blog yesterday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I'm a union worker. I lost a much needed day of pay today. I went to observe the occupiers for hours today. FACT: Most workers were upset with them. FACT: There were only a handful of people that worked there involved in the protest. Most union and non union port workers were upset and negatively affected financially.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, at the protest, KQED News Intern Rebecca Wolfson interviewed a business rep for the machinists union, which represents some port workers. Garry Horrocks had this to say: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I think a lot of union members are split because philosophically they believe in what's going on but there's contractual issues the unions have to recognize, and they have liabilities and assets to lose if they don't follow the legalities in the contract. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's what they call a fiduciary responsiblity of the members of the union to protect the assets, bc if ther are no assets, there's no funding, there's no revolution, there's no unions. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, on KQED Radio's Forum show, ILWU Communications Director Craig Merrilees expressed support for the Occupy movement while somewhat gingerly reaffirming the union's opposition to the port action: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I think almost everyone in the ILWU supports the goals of the 99% and nobody's done more than the Occupy movement to raise that issue. They've done a fabulous job of changing the debate in this country in a positive way so that people begin to have a sense of power. The ILWU has a long history of social justice and that kind of activism is part of the culture of this union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for this particular day, the union is not taking a position supporting this action, but that was really because of the lack of a process to allow the longshore workers – the rank and file, members – to participate in that decision. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are individuals who are exercising their First Amendment rights to take a stand, but the union itself is not in that position today.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>When asked if the union was \"ticked off\" that it wasn't consulted in the decision to demonstrate, he said, \"I don't think ticked off is the right word in any way. There's a position of respect here; I think the ILWU is grateful and respectful that people are standing up and raising concerns about the injustice that's taking place in America….there continues to be a lot of good feeling towards the thrust of what folks in the Occupy movement are trying to achieve.\"\n\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below is Mina's Kim's interview with Occupy Oakland's Peller from a couple of weeks ago, in which Peller talks about the Occupy movement's reasons for focusing on the port. The conversation speaks to the question of and perhaps some of the contradictions inherent in an outside group taking on an issue specific to organized labor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the port action about?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> It's about shutting down Wall Street on the waterfront. Shutting down Goldman Sachs, which owns a part of the SSA terminal, and EGT, a multiational grain exporter rupturing longshoremen jurisdiction in Longview, Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We've identified the fact that a the 1% makes a great deal of its profit on the ports and on the backs of exploited labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you been working with longshoremen?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We've been working with rank-and-file longshoremen. Legally, no union can sanction a strike. There are no-strike clauses. But we're not asking for a strike, we're asking for a blockade like on Nov 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Historically, since the anti-apartheid movement, people will go down and create community pickets and shut down the ports. These ports are public, anyone can go down there and protest. We know that the longshoremen rank and file largely support the aims of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> As well, this west coast coordinated port blockade is in solidarity with the longshoremen's struggle against EGT in Longview Washington, which is ruptuing their jurisdition and is a direct threat to the survival of the ILWU. While the ILWU international may not be able to officially say anything about the port blockade, this is a large number of people taking on the issues that we all have with the 1%. EGT is not only a longshoreman issue, but they have economically plundered people from Argentina to Brazil and all around the world… And of course, Goldman Sachs owns a large part of the SSA terminal, and we all know what Goldman Sachs has done to a large part of our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would you respond to people who say that shutting down the port would hurt members of the 99% like truckers and other workers who need the shift?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> It's the same thing as in the general strike, where the right wing tried to accuse occupy Oakland of hurting small businesses. But we all have to make a sacrifice here, to strike back against the 1% and take our lives back from the 1%. This is what this movement is all about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cstrong>Did anyone from the Longview union ask you guys to shut down the port in solidarity with their fight?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> No. The occupation movement doesn't need to take marching orders from anyone. It's a mass of people self-organizing to get their material needs met and to strike back against he 1%. Of course we've been aware of the issue in Longview and applauding the resistance by the longshoremen up in Longview for resisting EGT, but like I said, EGT and other companies operating up there are a concern of everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Nobody from the longshoremen has asked the Occupy movement to do anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cstrong>Are you worried about support from the union's rank and file, or do you think you definitely have their support?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> The rank and file traditionally will honor community picket lines around social justice issues. I think the longshoremen are not unaware of the aims of the Occupy movement and a lot of those aims speak to them as well. Rank and file are also part of the Occupy movement, not separate. Across the board, rank and file union members as well as non-unionized workers, make up a large part of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cstrong>Any plans to coordinate more with the ILWU?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> It's a very sad thing what's happened to the unions in the U.S. because of no-strike clauses and different legal ramifications. It's sad that unions have to distance themselves from things like this for fear of being sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Nobody can speak for the leadership of the ILWU. But working class people understand that EGT and Goldman Sachs are Wall Street on the waterfront, and it's important to shut down Wall Street because of the way these big companies have plundered our lives.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Also released yesterday, \u003ca href=\"http://cleanandsafeports.org/blog/2011/12/12/an-open-letter-from-america%E2%80%99s-port-truck-drivers-on-occupy-the-ports/\">An Open Letter from America’s Port Truck Drivers on Occupy the Ports\u003c/a>, signed by three port drivers and two other truckers:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We are the front-line workers who haul container rigs full of imported and exported goods to and from the docks and warehouses every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We have been elected by committees of our co-workers at the Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle, Tacoma, New York and New Jersey to tell our collective story.

From Chronicle columnist Andrew S. Ross this weekend, \u003ca href=\"http://articles.sfgate.com/2011-12-08/business/30489379_1_shutdown-international-longshore-warehouse-union\">Union not keen on new Occupy Oakland\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp> (T)he folks [protesters] purport to be in solidarity with don't seem hot on the idea to \"effectively shut down the hubs of commerce\" at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \"Any actions organized by outside groups, including the proposed Dec. 12 shutdown of various terminals on the West Coast, have not been vetted by our union's democratically led process,\" the International Longshore and Warehouse Union said. \"Any decisions made by groups outside of the union's democratic process do not hold water, regardless of the intent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> The Occupy movements that make a fetish of applying direct democracy and near absolute consensus to its own decision making might want to take note of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Richard Mead, president of ILWU Local 10, which represents dockworkers at the Port of Oakland, said, \"Our position is in the international's press release. We're not facilitating (Occupy Oakland's strike call) in any way. We just want that clear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Jeff Smith, president of ILWU Local 8 in Portland, Ore., went further, telling the Portland Tribune his union won't honor picket lines. \"This is a third-party strike. We have to go to work,\" he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But the Occupy movement says the union rank and file supported the protest. Occupy Oakland's Barucha Peller, who participated in the organizing of the attempted port shutdowns, said this to KQED's Mina Kim during the planning stages of the port action:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The rank and file traditionally will honor community picket lines around social justice issues. I think the longshoremen are not unaware of the aims of the Occupy movement and a lot of those aims speak to them as well. Rank and file are also part of the Occupy movement, not separate. Across the board, rank and file union members as well as non-unionized workers, make up a large part of the Occupy movement.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But whether the majority of affected union members actually supported yesterday's action -- or not -- I'm not sure anyone really knows. Here's a comment we received on the blog yesterday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I'm a union worker. I lost a much needed day of pay today. I went to observe the occupiers for hours today. FACT: Most workers were upset with them. FACT: There were only a handful of people that worked there involved in the protest. Most union and non union port workers were upset and negatively affected financially.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, at the protest, KQED News Intern Rebecca Wolfson interviewed a business rep for the machinists union, which represents some port workers. Garry Horrocks had this to say: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I think a lot of union members are split because philosophically they believe in what's going on but there's contractual issues the unions have to recognize, and they have liabilities and assets to lose if they don't follow the legalities in the contract. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's what they call a fiduciary responsiblity of the members of the union to protect the assets, bc if ther are no assets, there's no funding, there's no revolution, there's no unions. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, on KQED Radio's Forum show, ILWU Communications Director Craig Merrilees expressed support for the Occupy movement while somewhat gingerly reaffirming the union's opposition to the port action: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I think almost everyone in the ILWU supports the goals of the 99% and nobody's done more than the Occupy movement to raise that issue. They've done a fabulous job of changing the debate in this country in a positive way so that people begin to have a sense of power. The ILWU has a long history of social justice and that kind of activism is part of the culture of this union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for this particular day, the union is not taking a position supporting this action, but that was really because of the lack of a process to allow the longshore workers – the rank and file, members – to participate in that decision. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are individuals who are exercising their First Amendment rights to take a stand, but the union itself is not in that position today.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>When asked if the union was \"ticked off\" that it wasn't consulted in the decision to demonstrate, he said, \"I don't think ticked off is the right word in any way. There's a position of respect here; I think the ILWU is grateful and respectful that people are standing up and raising concerns about the injustice that's taking place in America….there continues to be a lot of good feeling towards the thrust of what folks in the Occupy movement are trying to achieve.\"\n\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The conversation speaks to the question of and perhaps some of the contradictions inherent in an outside group taking on an issue specific to organized labor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the port action about?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> It's about shutting down Wall Street on the waterfront. Shutting down Goldman Sachs, which owns a part of the SSA terminal, and EGT, a multiational grain exporter rupturing longshoremen jurisdiction in Longview, Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We've identified the fact that a the 1% makes a great deal of its profit on the ports and on the backs of exploited labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you been working with longshoremen?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We've been working with rank-and-file longshoremen. Legally, no union can sanction a strike. There are no-strike clauses. But we're not asking for a strike, we're asking for a blockade like on Nov 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Historically, since the anti-apartheid movement, people will go down and create community pickets and shut down the ports. These ports are public, anyone can go down there and protest. We know that the longshoremen rank and file largely support the aims of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> As well, this west coast coordinated port blockade is in solidarity with the longshoremen's struggle against EGT in Longview Washington, which is ruptuing their jurisdition and is a direct threat to the survival of the ILWU. While the ILWU international may not be able to officially say anything about the port blockade, this is a large number of people taking on the issues that we all have with the 1%. EGT is not only a longshoreman issue, but they have economically plundered people from Argentina to Brazil and all around the world… And of course, Goldman Sachs owns a large part of the SSA terminal, and we all know what Goldman Sachs has done to a large part of our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would you respond to people who say that shutting down the port would hurt members of the 99% like truckers and other workers who need the shift?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> It's the same thing as in the general strike, where the right wing tried to accuse occupy Oakland of hurting small businesses. But we all have to make a sacrifice here, to strike back against the 1% and take our lives back from the 1%. This is what this movement is all about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cstrong>Did anyone from the Longview union ask you guys to shut down the port in solidarity with their fight?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> No. The occupation movement doesn't need to take marching orders from anyone. It's a mass of people self-organizing to get their material needs met and to strike back against he 1%. Of course we've been aware of the issue in Longview and applauding the resistance by the longshoremen up in Longview for resisting EGT, but like I said, EGT and other companies operating up there are a concern of everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Nobody from the longshoremen has asked the Occupy movement to do anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cstrong>Are you worried about support from the union's rank and file, or do you think you definitely have their support?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> The rank and file traditionally will honor community picket lines around social justice issues. I think the longshoremen are not unaware of the aims of the Occupy movement and a lot of those aims speak to them as well. Rank and file are also part of the Occupy movement, not separate. Across the board, rank and file union members as well as non-unionized workers, make up a large part of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cstrong>Any plans to coordinate more with the ILWU?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> It's a very sad thing what's happened to the unions in the U.S. because of no-strike clauses and different legal ramifications. It's sad that unions have to distance themselves from things like this for fear of being sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Nobody can speak for the leadership of the ILWU. But working class people understand that EGT and Goldman Sachs are Wall Street on the waterfront, and it's important to shut down Wall Street because of the way these big companies have plundered our lives.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Also released yesterday, \u003ca href=\"http://cleanandsafeports.org/blog/2011/12/12/an-open-letter-from-america%E2%80%99s-port-truck-drivers-on-occupy-the-ports/\">An Open Letter from America’s Port Truck Drivers on Occupy the Ports\u003c/a>, signed by three port drivers and two other truckers:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We are the front-line workers who haul container rigs full of imported and exported goods to and from the docks and warehouses every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We have been elected by committees of our co-workers at the Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle, Tacoma, New York and New Jersey to tell our collective story.

From AP:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The protesters are targeting the locations because they believe American ports have become “economic engines for the elite.” They are most upset by two West Coast companies — giant West Coast port operator SSA Marine and grain exporter EGT — that they believe epitomize the big corporations that make up the “1 percent.” Goldman Sachs owns a major stake in SSA Marine, and the bank has been a repeated target of Occupy protesters since the movement began.

Trucks were moving cargo into and out of Port facilities as early as 7:00 a.m. and into and out of the majority of facilities by 10:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No ships were loaded or unloaded today.

Some terminals could not operate at all because of protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Shifts were cancelled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terminal operators are responsible for ordering and cancelling shifts. No shifts were cancelled today. Some Longshoremen were unable to report to work for health and safety reasons. Some were released due to the inability to fill a labor order. As a result, some terminals were unable to operate normally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Some or all terminals were closed today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All terminals opened today. Some were unable to accept cargo due to protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Oakland was the only west coast port impacted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We understand from news reports that operators at the Port of Portland shut two terminals, affecting four ship operations. As a result, 200 Longshoreman were not able to work there. At the Port of LA and Long Beach, there was apparently minor operational impact and protesters were dispersed this morning. At the Port of Seattle, protest activity is expected later today and tonight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Customs enforcement personnel were not at all terminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some terminals experienced a delay in Customs personnel arrival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: An arbitrator was called in and sent Longshoremen home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not true. Under the labor agreement between the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), an arbitrator may be called to determine if it is safe for workers to report to work. In this case, PMA decided not to call out the arbitrator. It remains possible that the ILWU may still request an arbitration to determine if they should to be paid for the inability to report to work but at no time today was an arbitrator called.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>4:07 p.m.\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>Scott Olsen speaks\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a \u003ca href=\"http://www.twitvid.com/25KM5\">video interview with Scott Olsen\u003c/a> at today’s demonstration, giving an update on his health.

Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the port action about? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s about shutting down Wall Street on the waterfront. Shutting down Goldman Sachs, which owns a part of the SSA terminal, and EGT, a multiational grain exporter rupturing \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/21/us-longshoremen-arrests-idUSTRE78K7TC20110921\">longshoremen jurisdiction\u003c/a> in Longview, Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve identified the fact that a the 1% makes a great deal of its profit on the ports and on the backs of exploited labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you been working with longshoremen? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve been working with rank-and-file longshoremen. Legally, no union can sanction a strike. There are no-strike clauses. But we’re not asking for a strike, we’re asking for a blockade like on Nov 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically, since the anti-apartheid movement, people will go down and create community pickets and shut down the ports. These ports are public, anyone can go down there and protest. We know that the longshoremen rank and file largely support the aims of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As well, this west coast coordinated port blockade is in solidarity with the longshoremen’s struggle against EGT in Longview Washington, which is ruptuing their jurisdition and is a direct threat to the survival of the ILWU. While the ILWU international may not be able to officially say anything about the port blockade, this is a large number of people taking on the issues that we all have with the 1%. EGT is not only a longshoreman issue, but they have economically plundered people from Argentina to Brazil and all around the world… And of course, Goldman Sachs owns a large part of the SSA terminal, and we all know what Goldman Sachs has done to a large part of our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would you respond to people who say that shutting down the port would hurt members of the 99% like truckers and other workers who need the shift? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the same thing as in the general strike, where the right wing tried to accuse occupy Oakland of hurting small businesses. But we all have to make a sacrifice here, to strike back against the 1% and take our lives back from the 1%. This is what this movement is all about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did anyone from the Longview union ask you guys to shut down the port in solidarity with their fight? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. The occupation movement doesn’t need to take marching orders from anyone. It’s a mass of people self-organizing to get their material needs met and to strike back against he 1%. Of course we’ve been aware of the issue in Longview and applauding the resistance by the longshoremen up in Longview for resisting EGT, but like I said, EGT and other companies operating up there are a concern of everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nobody from the longshoremen has asked the Occupy movement to do anytning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you worried about support from the union’s rank and file, or do you think you definitely have their support? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rank and file traditionally will honor community picket lines around social justice issues. I think the longshoremen are not unaware of the aims of the Occupy movement and a lot of those aims speak to them as well. Rank and file are also part of the Occupy movement, not separate. Across the board, rank and file union members as well as non-unionized workers, make up a large part of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Any plans to coordinate more with the ILWU?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a very sad thing what’s happened to the unions in the U.S. because of no-strike clauses and different legal ramifications. It’s sad that unions have to distance themselves from things like this for fear of being sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nobody can speak for the leadership of the ILWU. But working class people understand that EGT and Goldman Sachs are Wall Street on the waterfront, and it’s important to shut down Wall Street because of the way these big companies have plundered our lives.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>1 p.m.\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>Workers sent home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://sg.news.yahoo.com/protesters-halt-operations-western-ports-191912986.html\">AP\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In Oakland, shipping companies and the longshoremen’s union agreed to send home about 150 workers, essentially halting operations at two terminals.

From AP:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The protesters are targeting the locations because they believe American ports have become “economic engines for the elite.” They are most upset by two West Coast companies — giant West Coast port operator SSA Marine and grain exporter EGT — that they believe epitomize the big corporations that make up the “1 percent.” Goldman Sachs owns a major stake in SSA Marine, and the bank has been a repeated target of Occupy protesters since the movement began. The two port companies have also engaged in high-profile clashes with union workers lately, and the Occupy protesters want to stand up for the workers.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>More live coverage online:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/oakland-tribune/ci_19528961\">Oakland Tribune live blog\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ustream.tv/channel/9636787\">Live video stream\u003c/a> (Spencer Mills)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23occupytheports\">Twitter: #occupytheports\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"update\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch1>Updates:\u003c/h1>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:30 p.m.\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>Signing Off\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re calling it a day on the blogging Occupy front.

The Port would like to separate fact from rumor:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: The Port of Oakland is closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Port is not closed. Operations have continued throughout the day after sporadic interruptions due to the morning protest activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the rest of the day and overnight, the Port anticipates very limited terminal activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: The Port of Oakland was shut down today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Port remained operational today, even though there were disruptions throughout the morning that affected terminal operations and truck traffic. Trucks were moving cargo into and out of Port facilities as early as 7:00 a.m. and into and out of the majority of facilities by 10:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No ships were loaded or unloaded today. Yard and gate operations at some terminals continued regarding cargo that had already been unloaded. Some terminals could not operate at all because of protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Shifts were cancelled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terminal operators are responsible for ordering and cancelling shifts. No shifts were cancelled today. Some Longshoremen were unable to report to work for health and safety reasons. Some were released due to the inability to fill a labor order. As a result, some terminals were unable to operate normally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Some or all terminals were closed today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All terminals opened today. Some were unable to accept cargo due to protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Oakland was the only west coast port impacted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We understand from news reports that operators at the Port of Portland shut two terminals, affecting four ship operations. As a result, 200 Longshoreman were not able to work there. At the Port of LA and Long Beach, there was apparently minor operational impact and protesters were dispersed this morning. At the Port of Seattle, protest activity is expected later today and tonight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Customs enforcement personnel were not at all terminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some terminals experienced a delay in Customs personnel arrival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: An arbitrator was called in and sent Longshoremen home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not true. Under the labor agreement between the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), an arbitrator may be called to determine if it is safe for workers to report to work. In this case, PMA decided not to call out the arbitrator. It remains possible that the ILWU may still request an arbitration to determine if they should to be paid for the inability to report to work but at no time today was an arbitrator called.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>4:07 p.m.\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>Scott Olsen speaks\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a \u003ca href=\"http://www.twitvid.com/25KM5\">video interview with Scott Olsen\u003c/a> at today’s demonstration, giving an update on his health.

Shutting down Goldman Sachs, which owns a part of the SSA terminal, and EGT, a multiational grain exporter rupturing \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/21/us-longshoremen-arrests-idUSTRE78K7TC20110921\">longshoremen jurisdiction\u003c/a> in Longview, Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve identified the fact that a the 1% makes a great deal of its profit on the ports and on the backs of exploited labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you been working with longshoremen? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve been working with rank-and-file longshoremen. Legally, no union can sanction a strike. There are no-strike clauses. But we’re not asking for a strike, we’re asking for a blockade like on Nov 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically, since the anti-apartheid movement, people will go down and create community pickets and shut down the ports. These ports are public, anyone can go down there and protest. We know that the longshoremen rank and file largely support the aims of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As well, this west coast coordinated port blockade is in solidarity with the longshoremen’s struggle against EGT in Longview Washington, which is ruptuing their jurisdition and is a direct threat to the survival of the ILWU. While the ILWU international may not be able to officially say anything about the port blockade, this is a large number of people taking on the issues that we all have with the 1%. EGT is not only a longshoreman issue, but they have economically plundered people from Argentina to Brazil and all around the world… And of course, Goldman Sachs owns a large part of the SSA terminal, and we all know what Goldman Sachs has done to a large part of our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would you respond to people who say that shutting down the port would hurt members of the 99% like truckers and other workers who need the shift? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the same thing as in the general strike, where the right wing tried to accuse occupy Oakland of hurting small businesses. But we all have to make a sacrifice here, to strike back against the 1% and take our lives back from the 1%. This is what this movement is all about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did anyone from the Longview union ask you guys to shut down the port in solidarity with their fight? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. The occupation movement doesn’t need to take marching orders from anyone. It’s a mass of people self-organizing to get their material needs met and to strike back against he 1%. Of course we’ve been aware of the issue in Longview and applauding the resistance by the longshoremen up in Longview for resisting EGT, but like I said, EGT and other companies operating up there are a concern of everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nobody from the longshoremen has asked the Occupy movement to do anytning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you worried about support from the union’s rank and file, or do you think you definitely have their support? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rank and file traditionally will honor community picket lines around social justice issues. I think the longshoremen are not unaware of the aims of the Occupy movement and a lot of those aims speak to them as well. Rank and file are also part of the Occupy movement, not separate. Across the board, rank and file union members as well as non-unionized workers, make up a large part of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Any plans to coordinate more with the ILWU?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a very sad thing what’s happened to the unions in the U.S. because of no-strike clauses and different legal ramifications. It’s sad that unions have to distance themselves from things like this for fear of being sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nobody can speak for the leadership of the ILWU. But working class people understand that EGT and Goldman Sachs are Wall Street on the waterfront, and it’s important to shut down Wall Street because of the way these big companies have plundered our lives.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>1 p.m.\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>Workers sent home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://sg.news.yahoo.com/protesters-halt-operations-western-ports-191912986.html\">AP\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In Oakland, shipping companies and the longshoremen’s union agreed to send home about 150 workers, essentially halting operations at two terminals.

The two port companies have also engaged in high-profile clashes with union workers lately, and the Occupy protesters want to stand up for the workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several hundred people began picketing at the Port of Oakland before dawn and blocked some trucks from going inside. Police are monitoring at the scene, but no major clashes have been reported so far. Occupy protesters successfully shut down the port in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Southern California, as many as 400 demonstrators gathered in a park and planned to march on the Port of Long Beach. Occupy protesters said they plan to head to a dock facility owned by SSA Marine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 300 people gathered at Kelly Point Park in Portland, Ore., and Kari Koch, organizer with Shut Down the Ports Working Group of Occupy Portland, said she expected hundreds more to picket the nearby terminal. Police arrested three people and seized a gun and sword from people who said they were on the way to the demonstration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Occupy groups also planned blockades in Seattle, Tacoma, Wash., and Vancouver, British Columbia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protests being billed as action against “Wall Street on the waterfront” are perhaps the Occupy movement’s most dramatic gesture since police raids sent most remaining camps scattering last month. Demonstrators began forming those camps around the country about two months ago to protest what they call corporate greed and economic inequality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will not stand for corporate profits at the expense of working people, we will not stand for attacks on workers, and we will not allow our schools to be closed, social services slashed, and families to be impoverished by your greed!” Koch said Monday in statement.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One site, called Victory Court near Jack London Square, we've already heard about. The other is a very ambitious idea to redevelop the whole area around the Coliseum with a new baseball park and convention center, shopping, restaurant, hotel. The city hopes that by having two alternatives, their plan will have the best chance of success with Major League Baseball. The plan is to have something ready by opening day, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more immediate time frame relates to Major League Baseball's decision on whether it will permit the A's to move to San Jose, conflicting with the Giants' territorial rights, or whether it will require the team to stay within their current territory of Alameda and Contra Costa counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2:55 p.m.\u003c/strong> We received a lot of tweets asking about the still-nowhere-to-be found environmental impact report for Victory Court. Here’s what Assistant City Administrator Fred Blackwell said in response to my question about it:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“No, it has not been completed, and as you know, the EIR process is one that requires a substantial amount public input and comment. And so the reason why you have not seen that is that we have not been aggressively moving forward with the EIR process. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That being said, one of the things that’s important to know – and I hope this doesn’t get too technical – is that at the Coliseum, sports facilities are an existing use. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there is no need to start from scratch with an environmental impact review process there. And we have already, as most of you know, been moving forward with the Oak to Ninth project, which is already an entitled project there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So this would be an EIR process, at Victory Court, that would probably have to start close to from scratch, but that we think would move fairly rapidly. If we get the high sign from anybody in Major League Baseball that we’re ready to go, we are actually poised to move forward and we have a schedule that we think could meet their needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 4:25 p.m.\u003c/strong> Here's the \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/blogs/newsfix/ColiseumCity.mp3\">full audio of today's press conference\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/12/09/city-of-oakland-as/#blog\">Live blog replay of today's press conference\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://newballpark.org/2011/12/09/city-of-oakland-baseball-announcement-today/#comments\">Newballpark.org user comments\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>More from \u003ca href=\"http://bayarea.sbnation.com/oakland-athletics/2011/12/9/2624335/oakland-athletics-raiders-warriors-stadium-news-mayor-jean-quan-claims-two-viable\">SB Nation\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Original post\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City of Oakland officials, including Mayor Jean Quan and members of the City Council, are holding a press conference to \"make an announcement about Major League Baseball.\" There’s speculation in the Oakland Tribune that this concerns a plan to redevelop the area around the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (now called O.co Coliseum) that would include a new stadium for the Oakland A’s, as well as a new arena for the Golden State Warriors.

After abandoning a proposal to build a ballpark-retail-residential complex in Fremont, A’s managing partner Lew Wolff formally asked Major League Baseball to allow the team to move to a site near downtown San Jose.
