The joint statement issued as a press release says a line of pickets protesting US-South African trade is marching before Port Authority Pier 6 in Brooklyn, where the "South Africa Pioneer," bearing goods from South Africa is waiting to be discharged. Members if the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) Local 1814 have refused to cross the line. The joint statement says opposition to apartheid in South Africa is a logical extension of the struggle for equality in the United States. The joint statement calls for a boycott of South African goods and an embargo on American trade with South Africa.
