Occupy Oakland strike on Nov. 2

At first the unions said they couldn't because of contracts, and some may not strike that day. But I've been seeing that some are joining in:

Good! It seems to verify that they mean business and they're not going away.

I think it was the longshoremen who have the contract problem. Nobody should jeopardize their jobs, but it's great that some are doing the one day strike.
