In the 60′s and early 70′s I was a card carrying member of the Longshoremen’s Union. ILWU Local 142. We didn’t cross picket lines. We “Looked for the Union Label”. And we never ate California table grapes. Fortunately, California wine grapes were OK.
The Longshore Union has a long and bloody history in Hawaii. Finally, in 1949, the union fought it’s last major battle. The 177 day strike was to gain pay equality with the west coast longshoremen. The previous long and deadly strikes involved the plantation workers. The same “Big Five” companies owned all the plantations and all the shipping – between the islands and to and from the west coast.
No new macros today. Today I finished the last item on my 2 Do List. I was not interested in adding more fotos to the 2014 bucket.
My Labor Day Weekend To Do List:
1. Get a load of clothes to take to Goodwill – and take them.
2. Take all the food out of the fridge and discard anything gray and/or fuzzy.
3. Get the 2013 photos off the Airness. And make the 2013 photo book.
The 2013 photos have been achieved and the photo book has been made. Not ordered yet. But it is “resting” and waiting a final review.
Hot Hot Hot today and it might be hotter tomorrow. I walked for a little over an hour this morning and logged enough to steps to shut my Fitbit up.
Enjoy Every Sandwich. Double Header Today. Fish Tacos. And cheese burgers for dinner.
