TRUCKERS' STRIKE * USA: Day Two

* California - Truck driver port strike expands to mexican border


-- Truck drivers who haul goods from the nation’s busiest port complex in Los Angeles and Long Beach continue their strike for a second day today in a dispute over wages and employee status... For the first time in history, the Teamsters Union said this morning that truck drivers have extended their picket lines as far south as the U.S./Mexico border, where drivers picketed Pacer Cartage. That company’s trucks bring cargo to Toyota’s Otay Mesa facility just north of the border for transfer to Toyota’s manufacturing plants in Mexico... The protest is the latest in a series of job actions against LA/Long Beach harbor area trucking firms. The truck drivers, who work for four trucking companies, claim they are improperly classified as independent contractors, with some earning less than minimum wage than if they were company drivers... The striking drivers are picketing four carriers that include Intermodal Bridge Transport, Pacific 9 Transportation (Pac 9), Pacer Cartage and Harbor Rail Transport... Spokesmen for the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach claim all terminals remained operational on Monday afternoon and that cargo was flowing smoothly...
