Waterfront union workers marked Martin Luther King's birthday Sunday, January 14th, with a special demonstration starting at Harry Bridges Plaza - then moving on to Hornblower headquarters at Pier 3 and ending at the Alcatraz Ferry, Pier 33. The ten year "exclusive and lucrative Alcatraz ferry contract" was awarded Hornblower Cruises by the Bush Administration last fall and workers have been protesting ever since as Terry MacRae, Hornblower boss, "refuses to hire qualified, trained, professional Inland Boatmen's Union (IBU) and Masters, Mates, and Pilots association (MM&P) workers who have performed this work safely since 1973."
