Dear Robbie:
I am writing to you to congratulate you on your strong stance on behalf of the dockers in England. Your show of support came to my attention through the English newspapers and from Whitey Disley, who is the President of the Marine Firemen’s Union in San Francisco, California. Whitey is a Liverpudlian who recently met with some of the wives of dockers who visited the United States to enlist the help of American labor on behalf of the dockers.
In speaking with Whitey, we agreed that I should write U.E.F.A. to express our outrage at the fine that was levied on you.
Gene Upshaw, Executive Director for the National Football League Players Association, will also be writing the U.E.F.A. to provide similar comments regarding their despicable actions.
Again, on behalf fo myself and the Major League Soccer Players Association, we wish to applaud you for your stand. Also, Robbie, if you will, please pass on my best regards to Jason McAteer.
Best Regards.
Very truly yours,
John Kerr
Executive Director
MLSPA
