    Portland has a long history of radical labor movements, come and learn a bit about the struggles of one particular industry! A couple of history nerds will lead this tour of sites relating to Portland longshore labor history. Want to know where a boat full of scabs was attacked by striking workers? How about where Portland police opened fire on pickets? What's the story was with the Oregon Criminal Syndicalism Act? And for the acronym crew we can learn the difference between the ILA, ILWU, MWIU, MTW, IWW and WEA. Mostly we just want to share the history, so come along if you want to learn!
