Quote:
OAKLAND, CA -- Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa spoke briefly at a labor rally today aimed at pressuring the Port of Oakland to require that trucking companies hire drivers as employees instead of just using them as independent contractors.

Trucking group to file port suit
7/24/08
Quote:

A national trucking group will file a federal lawsuit on Monday against the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, alleging that a concession provision tied to the Clean Trucks Program violates interstate laws.
Officials with the American Trucking Association say the plan unfairly favors large-scale licensed motor carriers to hire truck drivers as employees, which will eventually drive smaller carriers out of business. "The concession mandate violates federal law by placing conditions on an industry that has been deregulated," said Curtis Whalen of the American Trucking Association.
