Jack Heyman spent decades as a militant trade unionist-first as a member of the National Maritime Union (the American seaman's union) and then in the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) in San Francisco.
Brother Heyman played a key role in a series of important and successful actions-from a 1984 boycott of South African apartheid cargo, to a 1999 port shutdown in solidarity with Mumia Abu-Jamal, to a historic 2008 anti-war strike that tied up shipping on the entire U.S. west coast, to the October 2010 port shutdown to demand justice for Oscar Grant, the victim of a racist police execution.
