In an impressive display of international worker solidarity, International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 10 (ILWU) in the San Francisco Bay Area refused to cross pro Palestinian picket lines to unload the Israeli Zim ship, gaining victory in 2014 for the Block the Boat movement. Longshoremen at other west coast ports also refused to unload. The following article from 2021, when a similar movement took place, talks about the 2014 victory and gives further context.

Note about this photo: I have promised to start learning digital manipulation for medium-to-advance using The Gimp. Unfortunately, it is not easy enough for me, though I had read several tutorials. Poor, even only to fix over exposure in the background of this photo.

Brickendon.
Brother William started his estate Brickendon shortly after Thomas in 1824 when his first cottage house was built. The main homestead, the delightfully proportioned two storey Georgian style residence with a pretty portico with iron pillars was built in 1829 when he married. The iron trellis portico was designed by architect nephew Thomas Archer of Woolmers and imported from England in 1857. Around the house William Archer planted hazelnuts, quinces, chestnuts, pears and medlars. Around his 30 acre paddocks he planted English Hawthorn hedges and Brickendon still has 30 kilometres of hawthorn hedge.
The property depended heavily on assigned convicts and by 1830 around 40 convicts, including female house servants, lived on the property. Brickendon is a good example of a pioneering estate with workers cottages from the 1830s, Georgian style stables, a weatherboard grain store and Dutch barns from the 1820s, a smoke house 1831, even fancy poultry sheds from the 1830s, and a woolshed, chapel and blacksmith shop. Brickendon is a complete village. Today the property still retains the original 1,000 acre land grant but the estate is tiny compared to its heyday. Members of the Archer family (the seventh generation) still run the property which grows poppies for medicines, merino wool and vegetables.

Seattle, Washington
Listed 10/9/2013
Reference Number: 13000823
The Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant in Seattle is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C at the local level of significance. The facility is significant under Criterion A for its association with the development of the Ford Motor Company and the creation of a state-of-the art regional manufacturing and distribution center for seminal models of Ford automobiles in the Pacific Northwest. Under Criterion C, the property is significant as an excellent example of the work of industrial architect Albert Kahn ( 1869-1942), whose designs revolutionized the form of the American factory in the early twentieth century, many of which are represented in the form and function of this particular Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant. The factory exemplifies Kahn's approach to Ford's concept of ""enlightened capitalism"" in which the architecture affects factory conditions, the quality of products, and the worker through such factors as ergonomics, cleanliness, and the role of light and ventilation. The property's period of significance is 1932, the year of completion of the factory and the first and only year of automobile production. The Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant is an excellent example of a regional automotive manufacturing and distribution center from the early 1930s, and demonstrates Ford's genius in integrating a pivotal location, abundant natural resources, a ready human workforce, an increasingly mature national and international distribution system, and cutting edge industrial architecture to produce an efficient regional production center. 3 As an intact industrial cultural landscape, the Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant is an innovative and prescient approach to the development of a dynamic and highly influential American model of capitalism by one of the world's most important and innovative industrialists, Henry Ford. The property has a relatively high degree of integrity and retains all the character-defining elements that originally defined it, including the Assembly Building (Building 1201) and the Oil House (Building 1206), the dock, the enhanced waterway leading to the Duwamish River, and nearby railroad lines, streets and roads.
