Japan's General Union: Solidarity! And here's their statement:
"Tokyo General Union supports the upcoming West Coast Port Shutdown and the Occupy Movement. We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters taking such a courageous step to end this economic system that brings untold riches to the 1% at the expense of the 99%.
We are the largest foreigner-led multinational union in Japan. We know that only through international unity and thoroughgoing democracy can we bring about real change in our world.
Let's not just reach across national borders. Let's crush all borders and all matter of people or thing that dares divide workers and other citizens anywhere in the world. Let's not talk their talk. Let's change the perspective and parameters of the debate. Let's muster the courage to question the tenets of our social contract, like the need for notions such as nation, corporations, and money.
Your movement occupies the streets, the parks, the ports and indeed our hearts. We stand with you."
