Gunnar Lundeberg, President of the Sailor's Union of the Pacific responds to Terry MacRae

| |

The following letter--Dated December 4, 2006--was intended for publication to the San Francisco Chronicle in response to this op-ed piece by Hornblower CEO Terry Macrae:

EDITOR:

Hornblower CEO Terry MacRae has not gone "the extra nautical mile" with the Unions representing Alcatraz ferry workers. ("It's not the old waterfront," December 1.) If he had, Hornblower would be in collective bargaining with the Inlandboatmen's Union and the Masters, Mates & Pilots now.

Until there is justice on the San Francisco waterfront, there will be no peace.

Gunnar Lundeberg
President & Secretary-Treasurer,
Sailors Union of the Pacific.
