Reports are that at noon today there were 5000 people at #HandsOff #SantaCruz and 400 people in #Watsonville . That's about 2% of the total county population, and doesn't account for (a) small protests in small towns like the dozen people in #BoulderCreek or (b) people were coming and going from the larger events the whole time. I can't even guess how many in total actually participated, but regardless: Way To Go, #SCruz!

#strikes #Watsonville #history

"We’re not used to hearing about great labor stories coming out of the 1980s. There’s something incongruous about picket lines, street-corner chants and proletariat anthems sung on beat-up guitars in the age of MTV, boomboxes and Mr. T.

But in Watsonville, the most significant event of the ’80s— well, before Oct. 17, 1989, anyway — might have been the Watsonville cannery strike, which included more than 1,500 workers in two frozen-food factories, and lasted more than a year and a half. It gained the attention of not only the national news media, but progressive political icons of the day Jesse Jackson and Cesar Chavez, and it ended in the spring of 1987 with many of the wage and benefit cuts that caused the strike, restored."

"How the Japantown in Watsonville, CA disappeared."

The video refers to Watsonville as part of the SF Bay Area, but it's actually significantly south of there, in the Pajaro Valley. To this day a lot of California strawberry production is concentrated there.
