	Bill Bailey grew up in poverty in the decaying tenements of Hoboken and Hell's Kitchen. Leaving school in the 5th grade to look for work, he rode the rails and hoboed around the country, finally landing on a ship in 1929. There he met members of the Wobblies who were the first to introduce him to radical politics, and to the hope of a decent life for working people. From then on, Bill's commitment to fundamental social change, to a world where needs of people come before profits, was unwavering and forever. He joined the Communist Party during the depression, finding its members the hardest-working, most effective fighters against injustice, discrimination, bitter working conditions. He organized workers in maritime from New York to California and Hawaii. He was screened from the waterfront during McCarthy's reign, kicked out of the Marine Firemen's Union (reinstated with honor in 1989), faced years of little work as the FBI visited successive employers, and finally found a home in the [[ILWU menu text \| ILWU]] in 1953.
