[Fyten]: “ILWU moves cargo – the boxes. Well I told them I was tired of bringing boxes home with bodies in ‘em. It’s time to speak up for what’s right.”
Vietnam vet and ILWU Local 10 member Steve Fyten - one of the west coast dock workers who will stop work on May 1st to protest the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
[Fyten 2]: “I am patriotic, but I’m patriotic to do the right thing. Bein’ patriotic doesn’t mean that you support a war that’s not right. Our sons and daughters are getting’ killed over there. That’s not being patriotic. I think bein’ patritotic is when you stand up and say what’s right.”
