While the Salvadoran regime murdered thousands of its citizens, in the United States, Ronald Reagan was elected president on a conservative, union-busting agenda.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHerb Mills, a local officer in the ILWU (International Longshore and Warehouse Union), led his union's campaign to refuse to load the weapons. But such a direct violation of their union contract could lead the government to jailing the officers and putting the union into receivership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow could the union stop the shipment and keep out of jail? Would the public support them and, if so, how? Would the press vilify or praise them?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on his personal archives and historical union records, Mills fashions a fictional account of that campaign. The names have been changed, but the courage and the daring of the union men and women are not made up, they are all real, and now their story is told.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 16, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47187133038841,"sku":"9798985097993","price":18.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/xg4nuXJcMF9798985097993.webp?v=1767852010","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/presente-a-dockworker-story-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
