People from the St. Johns neigh
borhood bring food to the picket
line, she said, and a representative
from the local neighborhood associ
ation called to say, *if you need any
help, just give us a call.*
" W e ’rs getting lots o f support
from our trucker friends,” she
added. “ Some o f them aren’t even
stopping. Some ask i f we’re on
strike and we say yes and they say
fine and then leave. Others drop
their loads on the sidewalk.”
Bill Gomez, west coast strike co
ordinator for the union, said it was
encouraging to see people on the
picket line "showing a tremendous
amount o f courage and unity. This
is a good strike." Gomez alluded to
the 17-year-long J.P. Stevens strike
as an example of how the union
stands by its members.
" I t takes a crisis to bring people
together,” he said.
"M o ra le is goo d ," said Hicks.
"W hen we go back in, we’U be more
together than ever before."

Sportswear, she said, was moving a
line o f fishing vests from the St.
Johns operation to the Vancouver
plant once contract negotiations
started. This action caused 6 w ork
ers to be laid o ff and a reduction in
wages for 20 others, said W illiams.
"T h e company guaranteed that
there would be no loss in wages or
jobs, but there w ere," she said.
"A ls o ,” said Hicks, "they say
they’re not in line with the rest o f
the industry, but they d idn't tell us
that until after we went for the con
tra ct."
Besides the vests, C o lu m b ia Sports
wear turns out goretex mountain
parkas, which are "very expensive,"
according to Hicks. The union is
asking for a public boycott o f all
Colum bia Sportswear products.
Strikers are prepared to stay out
for the duration, said Hicks. Picket

said. " W e ’ve had children on the

for equal work, and racism in some
parts o f the country. On the Atlantic
coast, for instance, he said, a small
population o f Black workers con
tinues to perform menial and dan
gerous work in the mines.
The tour visited centers o f the rev
olution, what Nicaraguans call
“ m artyr cities" because they were
bombed out by Somoza’s A ir Force
as he prepared to abandon the
country — Managua, Matagalpa.
Leon, and Masaya. Ptrtridge de
scribed "huge shells o f buildings
and factories." and "q u ite a few
people without arms and lags."
" T h e whole population partici
pated in the insurrection and they
remember it vividly. Managua was
taken by 22s and .31a. Matagalpa
was taken by 13- and 16 -year-olds in
what became known as the ‘chil
dren’s insurrection.’ In Masaya,
Indians fought and won against the
National Ouard with machetes.”
N ow , he said, "th e repression is
gone, the fear is gone, and people
can speak.”
Protecting the revolution with
military preparedness is a big priori

saw people training.” Over 300,000

"T h e y really expect an invasion.
People kept saying, ‘we’re ready,

common saying is. ’ they hope for

tudes were, 'so much is happening
here that Is wonderful, we’ re willing
