No Public Money For GAP/A's Billionaire Owner John Fisher' Stadium!

ILWU 10 members and community people rallied and spoke out on October 25, 2021 to oppose the Alameda Board of Supervisors proposed plan to give $345 million in public tax subsidies to the Oakland A's billionaire owner John Fisher for a new stadium on the Howard Terminal in the Port of Oakland.

The proposed stadium would destroy the working port of Oakland and threaten the jobs of over 80,000 maritime workers including ILWU Local 10, 34 and 75, SUP and MMP members.

Speakers also opposed the leadership of the Alameda Labor Council and Alameda County Building Trades who are supporting the tax subsidy for billionaire John Fisher which would destroy the working port of Oakland the the jobs of tens of thousands of unionized Black and Brown workers in the maritime trades.

Speakers also talked about the ocean shipping companies who are refusing to move ships to Oakland that are backlogged in Sacramento when the Port of Oakland of Oakland is available for shipping.

Speakers at the rally included ILWU Local 10 executive board member Janiero Baltrip, West Oakland community member Melody Davis who is also a retired Oakland Coliseum Unite HERE Local 2850 worker, and members of the United Front Committee For A Labor Party UFCLP which initiated the rally against the use of public funds for a new stadium on the port.
