Just got home from San Francisco and the rally for the Neptune Jade defendants. I felt so lucky to hear the speeches that day. The poems I heard . I especially was so proud of the speech Bobby Morton gave. I was very lucky that day.

To whom it may concern,

I would like to thank all of you for your enormous support of the longshore and their plight against the Pacific Maritime Association and Mr.Miniace. In this day when corporate heads feel that they can do without the working stiff to make their profits, it is a sad state of affairs one might say. I would have to say that my own brothers in the ILWU do not know the full extent of the hard line tactics that Mr. Miniace is willing to apply in regards to the Neptune Jade picket line . Please keep us informed on any and all imformation as we are already thankful for what we have been given by you and your staff already. Thank you again.

Fraternally, Antonio J. Moreno
