Blue Diamond Workers United

La Coordinadora is the union that represents about 85 percent of Spain's dock workers. When ILWU Organizer Agustin Ramirez and Blue Diamond Organizing Committee member Cesario Aguirre visited the Port of Valencia, La Coordinadora organized a press conference to help broadcast the news of Blue Diamond's anti-union deeds. Pictured here before the press conference are (left to right)Aguirre; David Nacher, General Secretary of Transportes, Comunicaciones y Mar (the other dockers' union); Ramirez; Julian Garcia, General Secretary of the International Dockworkers Council (IDC); Emilio Manzano, International Representative for La Coordinadora; and Pedro Vicente, president of La Coordinadora's committee at the Port of Valencia.
