TRUCKERS' STRIKES & PROTESTS * USA
Protest rally in Chehalis, WA Set for Saturday
Napavine,WASH,USA - The Chronicle (Chehalis, WA) -June 20, 2008: -- Truckers throughout Southwest Washington are again set to strike against high fuel prices... A fuel boycott will be held on the west side of Interstate 5’s exit 72, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, featuring a performance by Singin’ Sam Little playing “Trucker Shutdown.”... Diesel in the region has hit nearly $5.10 per gallon, and truck drivers are paying over $1,200 to fill their fuel tanks, a press release on the strike stated. This is the second fuel strike held at exit 72 in three months. In mid-April, when the last strike was held, the average price of diesel in the state was $4.15 a gallon; organizers stated, at that time, that diesel had been just $3.03 in April of 2007...
