Puerto Rico general strike
October 20, 2009Jon Brooks Comments OffHere’s an excellent video slide show from last week’s protest and one-day general strike in San Juan, Puerto Rico in response to the government’s proposed lay-offs of more than 20,000 workers.

And here’s a six-minute video of the event set to Protest the Hero’s “Turn Soonest to the Sea.”
Here are blog posts about the strike from Repeating Islands and Write to Fight.
