Some truck drivers who haul goods from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach walked off the job Monday, organizers said, launching a protest against four trucking firms they accuse of wage theft.
Picket lines went up outside the trucking yards of Pacific 9 Transportation, Intermodal Bridge Transport, Pacer Cartage and Harbor Rail Transport, said Barb Maynard, a spokeswoman for the Teamsters union, which is supporting the truckers.
This will never do. Commerce must flow, or heads will roll.
I anticipate a timely resolution to this anomaly.
I expect the feds will move in on this one. The truckers have been getting robbed. Those ports are something else. Some rough operators there. I used to haul out of East Coast ports. Boy, I miss that crap! Not!
If the Teamsters don’t want their jobs, I know of 96 million people here in America who are out of work and will gladly step up to the plate to get the job done.
. . .
fk the unions. fk the Teamsters.
Speak with people weekly, near daily that are drivers [not local trasnpo] that work for sub $15 hr wages.
Unionized goons make multi-fold for doing the same thing.
No, I am not against a good, decent wage. I am against unions.
