Bernie Sanders

From the Daily Breeze:

Thousands of union workers will rally Friday on the San Pedro waterfront during a campaign swing by Sen. Bernie Sanders as he continues to barnstorm the state for presidential primary votes.

The outdoor event, sponsored by Harbor Area labor unions, will be held at the Downtown Harbor dock area just north of the Los Angeles Maritime Museum, 84 E. Sixth St., at Harbor Boulevard.

Admission is first-come, first serve. Doors open at 8 a.m.

Among the sponsors are the International Longshore and Warehouse Union International and the ILWU Pensioners, both of which have formally endorsed Sanders, said Middleton who is secretary-treasurer of the Harry Bridges Institute, which also has endorsed him.

Those wanting to attend should arrive no later than 9 a.m. Other speakers also will be featured at the morning rally. Those attending are asked not to bring bags and to limit what they carry to keys, cellphones and other small personal items only.

Weapons, sharp objects, chairs and signs or banners on sticks will not be allowed through the security checkpoint.

Free parking is available at Ports O’ Call Village south of the museum and $2 parking (cash or credit) is available at the Battleship Iowa parking lot to the north of the museum at Harbor Boulevard and First Street.
