@macnchez @pleaseclap That is not exactly true. The #WWII #SFBA shipyards were fully unionized. #Marinship, in #Sausalito, began with Black workers in auxiliary locals with lower wages than the white workers in the boilermakers unions. However, “In 1944 in the case of James v. Marinship the California Supreme Court held that African Americans could not be excluded from jobs based on their race, even if the employer took no discriminatory actions. … Thurgood Marshall successfully argued the case, winning a ruling that the union be required to offer equal membership to African Americans.” #MarinCity was built nearby as the first federally funded integrated public housing. Sadly, even though there was no official redlining in #MarinCounty, the local #Realtors and #bankers refused to issue mortgages or sell homes to #AfricanAmericans. In addition, when the shipyards closed and the soldiers came home, Black workers lost their jobs and were not allowed to get private union jobs.
