Truckers Strike in Los Angeles, CA!!!

This is awesome. A bunch of truckers got together at two ports in Los Angeles and went in strike against three trucking companies who have been classifying the drivers as "contractors", not employees". to minimize their wages and benefits, and trying to prevent them from unionizing. The companies involved are Green Fleet Systems, Total Transportation Services, and Pacific 9 Transportation.

I hope they keep it up! Truckers, UNIT for better pay, benefits and home time!!! Story below!

That sentence was supposed to read, "Truckers UNITE for better pay, benefits, and home time". Not "truckers UNIT"... Lol!
