About this event
Part of the San Francisco LaborFest - Walk with Gifford Hartman
This year is the 78th anniversary of the Oakland General Strike.
This walk will revisit the sites of Oakland’s “Work Holiday” that spontaneously began with rank-and-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 3 1/2 days.
