To The Longshoremen of Charleston

Dear colleagues

We have heard the news of your fight against the non-union company, Winyah Stevedoring and its customer the Danish Nordana Shipping Lines.

We understand that South Carolina is a “Right to Work” state and it therefore is a hard but necessary fight that you are now engaged in. With the help of fellow workers and the international dockers community you shall succeed.

We hereby send our greetings of solidarity.

To our knowledge the Nordana Shipping Lines doesn’t call on any Danish port.

If you in your fight will be in need of money we shall contribute from our small means.
