OAKLAND — Unions and labor supporters including Occupy Oakland are planning to take to the streets Tuesday with a series of May Day actions, but those plans won’t include disrupting morning commuters on the Golden Gate Bridge, organizers said.

The protests are scheduled to last all day in Oakland with demonstrations beginning at 8:30 a.m. and culminating in a 3 p.m. march from the Fruitvale BART station to City Hall, where a 6 p.m. rally is scheduled.

Longshoremen also have called for a daytime work stoppage at the Port of Oakland on Tuesday, and about 4,500 nurses working without a contract are planning to walk off their jobs at eight Bay Area Sutter Health hospitals.

May Day is traditionally steeped in labor activism, and this year Occupy Oakland also has called for a general strike and scheduled numerous rallies in hopes of more closely allying its cause with organized labor and regaining some of its mass appeal.

“I think May 1st will kind of get people’s attention and show that Occupy Oakland is not dead,” Occupy member Mike King said. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to articulate some of the work we’ve been doing in various communities to address inequality and effect positive social change.”

Occupy Oakland no longer has plans to go ahead with what would have been its most provocative action — Occupying the Golden Gate Bridge in solidarity with bridge unions that have been without a contract for nearly a year. The bridge unions had broached the idea of a May Day bridge action, Occupy members said, but on Saturday, the Golden Gate Bridge Labor Coalition issued a statement asking supporters to keep the bridge open during Tuesday’s pickets.

Some Occupy members likely will travel by bus early Tuesday to support the picket lines but not to shut down the bridge, Occupy member Jaime Omar Yassin said.

“It’s not our role to do things for unions instead of them,” he said. “Our role is to help them do things once they decide to do them.”

Bridge officials said Friday that they had been working with law enforcement agencies on a plan to keep the bridge open to the estimated 110,000 cars that cross it every day.

“We have confidence that we can quickly respond to whatever may be planned or occur,” Golden Gate Transportation District﻿ spokeswoman Mary Currie said.

Oakland officials also have been planning for possible disruptions.

The city released a statement Friday cautioning that police were “prepared to swiftly address any criminal behavior that would damage property or jeopardize the safety of the public or police officers.”

Occupy Oakland is scheduled to begin its activities at 8:30 a.m. with pickets at three locations: Snow Park to shut down banks; Telegraph Avenue and 22nd Street to protest business associations the group says promote gentrification; and Fourth Street and Broadway to protest recent actions taken against an Occupy Oakland member by Alameda County child protective services, King said.

Occupy protesters will then converge for a noontime rally at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, after which protesters could initiate independent actions that may include pickets, a street party or shutting down banks, according to Occupy Oakland’s website.

Oakland officials have issued a permit for the 3 p.m. march, which is being organized by two groups not affiliated with Occupy Oakland.

Marchers are expected to converge at Ogawa Plaza for a 6 p.m. rally, after which Occupy supporters said there might be an attempt to again set up camp at the plaza.

The last time Occupy Oakland organized a major daytime rally, its supporters tried to forcibly take over the vacant Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center, only to be turned away by police in protests that soured many Oakland residents on the movement.

King said Tuesday’s action would be more like Nov. 2, when protesters closed the Port of Oakland.

“We’ve had more time to consider more targeted actions,” he said. “We’re trying to hopefully recreate the energy that we had Nov. 2.”
