I've been learning a lot about Oakland over the past few months for professional reasons. Crash course style. Labor in Oakland. I'm from Detroit, have been a member of more than one union in my time, but still there's always a learning curve when you talk about different industries and circumstances. The International Longshore & Warehouse Union have so far been nothing but utterly helpful. In fact, they have been stellar. Much more on this front later.
