In 1934, the Pacific Coast was shaken by a massive strike of waterfront workers- on the docks and the ships. In this mighty struggle, the Sailor’s Union of the Pacific, quiescent since it’s defeat in the period after the first World War was reborn. Fighting on San Francisco’s Embarcadero led to the stationing of National Guard troops on the ‘front’. This book looks at the Union from 1885 to 1985.

Excerpt from The Sailors' Union of the Pacific The seamen of the world today are for the most part unfree. Men ashore, possessing legal liberty, take for granted the rights of personal freedom which enable them to advance and make more secure their economic and social position. Under the laws of the United States alone, and that completely only since 1915, have sailors been fully accorded the rights of free men. Owing to the economic helplessness of seamen and to the assumed necessities Of navigation, the peculiar status of the sailor, bound to his vessel by law under penalty of imprison ment for desertion, remains the same today as it was centuries ago.
