Alcatraz ferry workers went on strike Saturday morning for what they allege to be unfair labor practices. Meanwhile, ferry service continued.
On Saturday morning, workers for the sole provider of ferries to Alcatraz Island went on a four hour strike to contest what they allege to be unfair labor practices.
In a statement, Alcatraz City Cruises said it was continuing to negotiate a potential contract and that it was “disappointed the union would threaten our passengers, partners and the community with a potential disruption.” According to McLaughlin, the vast majority of the company’s unionized workers are on strike. That includes captains, officers, deck hands, food and beverage workers, mechanics and ticket takers.
At the last minute, the company called in port captains who typically oversee operations from their desks to help on board, according to Senft. Another captain was flown in on an overnight flight from the Bahamas to fill in. While these workers do have the license to pilot the ferry, they are not used to operating it, he said.
