Overflow Crowds at City College Conference Hear Call for General Strike in California
Organizers for the day-long community/labor conference, held last Friday at San Diego City College were stunned by the response--expecting perhaps 150 registrants, nearly 300 people turned out. “This is a good kind of problem to have”, said AFT member Professor Jim Miller, as he asked attendees to rotate seating so everybody could have table space during a lunchtime seminar entitled “Making Change at Walmart”. It was clear from talking to forum participants that recent events in Wisconsin have resonated locally.
