Support Our Struggle

We need your support to help us win our struggle!

The Hornblower empire is vast and growing rapidly. They have a non union ferry operation in San Diego, right down the coast from the largest port and biggest longshore union in the country. Hornblower is planning a "Super Ferry" inter-island service in Hawaii carrying passengers and cargo. If the Hornblower threat isn¹t stopped by maritime unions NOW nonunion operations will spread throughout the maritime industry. The only way to fight this onslaught is through united actions of maritime workers in defense of the Alcatraz workers and against this viciously anti-union employer.

Here are just some of the things that you can do to help us:

If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area:

• Join our Picket Line! - See the calendar and list of upcoming events for times, dates, and details.
• Union Workers - Spread the word about our struggle. Refer your fellow workers to this site.
• Hotel Workers - Demand that all brochures for Alcatraz be removed from your place of employment until this struggle is won by the unions! Do not tell guests how to get to Hornblower Yachts. Inform them that "you do not know".
• Transportation Workers - Including Muni, BART, and Taxi drivers / workers: demand that your agency / company remove / refuse all advertising for Alcatraz Cruises and/or Hornblower Yachts. Ditto for travel agents.

If you live elsewhere:

• If there is a Hornblower Yachts office or dock in your area - Organize an informational picket. Refer customers to this website for information.
• If not - Organize an informational picket at a travel agency that books tours that include Alcatraz / Hornblower tours.

Wherever you live:

• Boycott Hornblower! - Refuse to conduct any business with union busters!
• Email the mayor of San Francisco - at this site.
• Email the National Park Service - at this site.
