Continued missed shifts represent economic hardship for maritime workers, truckers, and their families, as well as lost jobs and lost tax revenue for our region.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and elsewhere staged smaller-scale demonstrations. Each group said its protest was a show of support for the Oakland movement, which became a rallying point when an Iraq War veteran was seriously injured in a clash with police last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The larger Occupy movement has yet to coalesce into an organized association and until the port shut down had largely been limited scattershot marches, rallies and tent encampments since it began in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organizers in Oakland viewed the strike and port shutdown as a significant victory. Police said that about 7,000 people participated in demonstrations throughout the day that were peaceful except for a few incidents of vandalism at local banks and businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boots Riley, a protest organizer, touted the day as a success, saying “we put together an ideological principle that the mainstream media wouldn’t talk about two months ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His comments came before a group of protesters broke into the former Travelers Aid building in order to, as some shouting protesters put it, “reclaim the building for the people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley, whose anti-capitalist views are well documented, considered the port shutdown particularly significant for organizers who targeted it in an effort to stop the “flow of capital.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The port sends goods primarily to Asia, including wine as well as rice, fruits and nuts, and handles imported electronics, apparel and manufacturing equipment, mostly from Asia, as well as cars and parts from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Hyundai.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An accounting of the financial toll from the shutdown was not immediately available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The potential for the chaos that ultimately erupted was not something Riley wanted to even consider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they do that after all this …” said Riley pausing cautiously, then adding, “They’re smarter than that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the peace that abided throughout a sunny warm autumn Wednesday, as protesters hung a large black banner downtown that read: “DEATH TO CAPITALISM,” did not last as a cool midnight approached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Occupy protesters voicing anger over a budget trim that forced the closure of a homeless aid program converged on the empty building where it had been housed just outside of downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They blocked off a street with wood, metal Dumpsters and other large trash bins, sparking bonfires that leapt as high as 15 feet in the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials later released a statement describing the spasm of unrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oakland Police responded to a late night call that protesters had broken into and occupied a downtown building and set several simultaneous fires,” the statement read. “The protesters began hurling rocks, explosives, bottles, and flaming objects at responding officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several businesses were heavily vandalized. Dozens of protesters wielding shields were surrounded and arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters ran from several rounds of tear gas and bright flashes and deafening pops that some thought were caused by “flash bang” grenades. Fire crews arrived and suppressed the protesters’ flames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters and police faced off in an uneasy standoff until the wee hours of the morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Philadelphia, protesters were arrested earlier Wednesday as they held a sit-in at the headquarters of cable giant Comcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New York, about 100 military veterans marched in uniform and stopped in front of the New York Stock Exchange, standing in loose formation as police officers on scooters separated them from the entrance. On the other side was a lineup of NYPD horses carrying officers with nightsticks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are marching to express support for our brother, (Iraq war veteran) Scott Olsen, who was injured in Oakland,” said Jerry Bordeleau, a former Army specialist who served in Iraq through 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The veterans were also angry that returned from war to find few job prospects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Wall Street corporations have played a big role in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Bordeleau, now a college student. He said private contractors have reaped big profits in those countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A New York Post editorial on Thursday called on protesters camped out in Manhattan to leave or have police evict them. “What began as a credible protest against bank bailouts, crony capitalism and the like has, in large measure, been hijacked by crazies and criminals,” it said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Boston, college students and union workers marched on Bank of America offices, the Harvard Club and the Statehouse to protest the nation’s burgeoning student debt crisis. They said total outstanding student loans exceed credit card debt, increase by $1 million every six minutes and will reach $1 trillion this year, potentially undermining the economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are so many students that are trying to get jobs and go on with their lives,” said Sarvenaz Asasy, of Boston, who joined the march after recently graduating with a master’s degree and $60,000 in loan debt. “They’ve educated themselves and there are no jobs and we’re paying tons of student loans. For what?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And among the other protests in Oakland, parents and their kids, some in strollers, joined in by forming a “children’s brigade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s absolutely something wrong with the system,” said Jessica Medina, a single mother who attends school part time and works at an Oakland cafe. “We need to change that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>More\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/top-stories/ci_19255292\">Read the Oakland Tribune’s account here\u003c/a>.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/02/occupy-oakland-2/\">KQED’s the archived live blog of the Occupy General Strike\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

We partnered with the Oakland Education Association and our other unions to make sure that those teachers who followed our protocol could participate. That protocol involved submitting their leave request by close of business on Monday October 31, and to see that we were able to promise a sub for their classroom… We recognize that public services, particularly those devoted to education, have been criminally underfunded. We are in the mix of some of the deepest, really unprecedented cuts to public education that have greatly harmed kids and jeopardized the future of this state, and we’re seeing this on a national level as well. So we tried to accommodate the request and the support of the ideal that public education is a civic right, while at the same time providing parents and families and students with a safe, secure place during the school day and an opportunity to receive instruction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>12:33 p.m.\u003c/em> Joshua Johnson received another update from Google on the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/02/image-google-maps-shows-frank-ogawa-plaza-as-oscar-grant-plaza/\">back-and-forth renaming of Frank Ogawa Plaza as “Oscar Grant Plaza” on Google Maps\u003c/a>.

And of course, we take a look at all abuse reports and edits that are brought to our attention for further review. Overall, we believe that the knowledge of participatory mappers in the U.S. expands the depth and breadth of coverage in Google Maps, and dramatically speeds up the time it takes for online maps to reflect the often-changing physical world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you’ve noted in your most recent story update, this area is generating a lot of interest.

We partnered with the Oakland Education Association and our other unions to make sure that those teachers who followed our protocol could participate. That protocol involved submitting their leave request by close of business on Monday October 31, and to see that we were able to promise a sub for their classroom… We recognize that public services, particularly those devoted to education, have been criminally underfunded. We are in the mix of some of the deepest, really unprecedented cuts to public education that have greatly harmed kids and jeopardized the future of this state, and we’re seeing this on a national level as well. So we tried to accommodate the request and the support of the ideal that public education is a civic right, while at the same time providing parents and families and students with a safe, secure place during the school day and an opportunity to receive instruction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>12:33 p.m.\u003c/em> Joshua Johnson received another update from Google on the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/02/image-google-maps-shows-frank-ogawa-plaza-as-oscar-grant-plaza/\">back-and-forth renaming of Frank Ogawa Plaza as “Oscar Grant Plaza” on Google Maps\u003c/a>.

And of course, we take a look at all abuse reports and edits that are brought to our attention for further review.

The decision for a general strike was made by the people of Oakland themselves in a grassroots non-hierarchical process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Nov 2 the people of Oakland will strike and show our refusal to continue creating wealth for the 1 %. We also call for a day of action in which the circulation of capital is blockaded, students walk out of their schools, and people stage various occupations of schools, foreclosed homes, workplaces, and self-organize to take back control of our lives from the 1 %. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Occupy Oakland has called for all banks and corporations to close for the day of the general strike or demonstrators will march on them. Demonstrators also plan to blockade the port of Oakland on Nov 2. Occupy Oakland intends to picket or occupy any workplace or school which takes disciplinary action against strikers. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another speaker, identified as Boots Riley (yes, \u003cem>that\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://museumca.org/blog/omca-goes-one-one-with-the-coups-boots-riley\">Boots Riley\u003c/a>, Oakland hip hop fans) held up a piece of paper, saying that “I have an inter-office memorandum from City Administrator Deanna Santana in which she says that any workers who choose to take part in the general strike of Oakland will not face disciplinary action from the city.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We left a message with the City Administrator’s office asking for comment but have not heard back. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s condoning of participation in the strike by its workers was criticized in an “\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/01/an-open-letter-to-the-citizens-of-oakland-from-the-oakland-police-officers-association/\">Open Letter to the Citizens of Oakland\u003c/a>” sent by the Oakland Police Officers Association this morning. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>(T)he Administration issued a memo on Friday, October 28th to all City workers in support of the “Stop Work” strike scheduled for Wednesday, giving all employees, except for police officers, permission to take the day off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s hundreds of City workers encouraged to take off work to participate in the protest against “the establishment.” But aren’t the Mayor and her Administration part of the establishment they are paying City employees to protest? Is it the City’s intention to have City employees on both sides of a skirmish line?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is all very confusing to us.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Occupy Oakland site lists five local unions that have endorsed the strike, including \u003ca href=\"http://seiu1021.org/story/november-2-join-oakland%E2%80%99s-peaceful-day-action\">SEIU Local 1021\u003c/a>, which posted the following on its site:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>To avoid misinterpretation: Occupy Oakland has called for a “general strike,” but SEIU 1021 is not asking any members to “go on strike” — that would be a violation of many SEIU 1021 contracts. Instead, we encourage members to use legitimate time off to stand in support of Occupy Oakland and join the day’s events at the “Peaceful Day of Action.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>SEIU 1021 also addresses the city’s view on employee participation: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>City of Oakland Workers: The City has agreed that workers may use a day of comp time, vacation time, a floating holiday or leave without pay in order to participate.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>We obtained what appears to be the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/11/oakalndworknotice1.pdf\">\u003cstrong>memo from City Administrator Deanna Santana\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> (pdf) that authorizes the time off. It is addressed to Agency Directors/Managers and says that SEIU 1021 requested that…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp> “…all represented employees be released to either participate in the “Stop Work” action or not be required to come to work for health and safety reasons. Although no other miscellanesous unions have approached me, this directive is applicable to them as well. After careful consideration, I have decided all represented employees who want to avail themselves of the opportunity to participate shall have the following options…\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The memo goes on to list the type of paid time off that employees can use. It also says if employees have no applicable time off, they can use authorized leave without pay. Employees can also leave work early after 3 p.m. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter also cautions that “appropriate staffing for public safety personnel” must be maintained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Mina Kim talked to Josie Camacho, executive secretary and treasurer of the Alameda Labor Council, about labor’s participation tomorrow. She said the council is “asking and urging our various members in our different unions to do various things within their ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re going to work, wear ‘we’re 99 percenters,’ Camacho said. “If you’re coming downtown to ciy hall, join the organized bank action. We’re converging at 5pm at city hall, and a number of our unions are going to be feeding everyone that comes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what about actually going on strike, as the Occupiers are calling for? Mina Kim asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what’s happening is that just like in the Occupy movement, there is a process of consensus. Each union, before they do call for a strike, is clear on what the issues are, they have tried everything they can to address those issues, and they take a vote.

The decision for a general strike was made by the people of Oakland themselves in a grassroots non-hierarchical process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Nov 2 the people of Oakland will strike and show our refusal to continue creating wealth for the 1 %. We also call for a day of action in which the circulation of capital is blockaded, students walk out of their schools, and people stage various occupations of schools, foreclosed homes, workplaces, and self-organize to take back control of our lives from the 1 %. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Occupy Oakland has called for all banks and corporations to close for the day of the general strike or demonstrators will march on them. Demonstrators also plan to blockade the port of Oakland on Nov 2. Occupy Oakland intends to picket or occupy any workplace or school which takes disciplinary action against strikers. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another speaker, identified as Boots Riley (yes, \u003cem>that\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://museumca.org/blog/omca-goes-one-one-with-the-coups-boots-riley\">Boots Riley\u003c/a>, Oakland hip hop fans) held up a piece of paper, saying that “I have an inter-office memorandum from City Administrator Deanna Santana in which she says that any workers who choose to take part in the general strike of Oakland will not face disciplinary action from the city.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Is it the City’s intention to have City employees on both sides of a skirmish line?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is all very confusing to us.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Occupy Oakland site lists five local unions that have endorsed the strike, including \u003ca href=\"http://seiu1021.org/story/november-2-join-oakland%E2%80%99s-peaceful-day-action\">SEIU Local 1021\u003c/a>, which posted the following on its site:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>To avoid misinterpretation: Occupy Oakland has called for a “general strike,” but SEIU 1021 is not asking any members to “go on strike” — that would be a violation of many SEIU 1021 contracts. Instead, we encourage members to use legitimate time off to stand in support of Occupy Oakland and join the day’s events at the “Peaceful Day of Action.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>SEIU 1021 also addresses the city’s view on employee participation: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>City of Oakland Workers: The City has agreed that workers may use a day of comp time, vacation time, a floating holiday or leave without pay in order to participate.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>We obtained what appears to be the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/11/oakalndworknotice1.pdf\">\u003cstrong>memo from City Administrator Deanna Santana\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> (pdf) that authorizes the time off. It is addressed to Agency Directors/Managers and says that SEIU 1021 requested that…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp> “…all represented employees be released to either participate in the “Stop Work” action or not be required to come to work for health and safety reasons. Although no other miscellanesous unions have approached me, this directive is applicable to them as well. After careful consideration, I have decided all represented employees who want to avail themselves of the opportunity to participate shall have the following options…\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The memo goes on to list the type of paid time off that employees can use. It also says if employees have no applicable time off, they can use authorized leave without pay. Employees can also leave work early after 3 p.m. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter also cautions that “appropriate staffing for public safety personnel” must be maintained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Mina Kim talked to Josie Camacho, executive secretary and treasurer of the Alameda Labor Council, about labor’s participation tomorrow. She said the council is “asking and urging our various members in our different unions to do various things within their ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re going to work, wear ‘we’re 99 percenters,’ Camacho said. “If you’re coming downtown to ciy hall, join the organized bank action. We’re converging at 5pm at city hall, and a number of our unions are going to be feeding everyone that comes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what about actually going on strike, as the Occupiers are calling for? Mina Kim asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what’s happening is that just like in the Occupy movement, there is a process of consensus. Each union, before they do call for a strike, is clear on what the issues are, they have tried everything they can to address those issues, and they take a vote. What we’re saying to people is we have a democratic process in our various unions, and just like in the (Occupy) assembly process, they need to have a voice in that decision-making. If workers just decided to walk off their job, certainly they can do that, but when they come back they may not have a job. And I don’t’ think that’s what the Occupiers want.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the city released an \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca/groups/cityadministrator/documents/pressrelease/oak031990.pdf\">advisory\u003c/a> yesterday stating that all city offices and services will remain open. “We are not urging businesses to close,” the memo says. “Instead, we advise that they use common sense precautions.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advisory goes on: “The City is addressing and monitoring all aspects of Occupy Oakland’s proposed activities for Wednesday in an effort to minimize disruption safety and to promote peace and safety.
