ILWU Members Attend First Blood Memorial

SAN PEDRO, CA | MAY 16—More than 300 ILWU members turned out for the First Blood memorial in San Pedro yesterday. The First Blood ceremony recalls the violent clash between dockworkers and company-paid strikebreakers on May 15, 1934, that led to the deaths of Dickie Parker and John Knudsen, the first two workers killed in 1934 in the fight for dignity on the waterfront. The event also honors the memory of all ILWU dockworkers, IBU mariners, and Local 26 Watchmen who have died on the job. It is organized by the SoCal ILWU pensioners. This year marks the 90th Anniversary of the 1934 West Coast Waterfront Strike that began on May 9, 1934.
