America is facing a double whammy of strikes by railroad workers and truck drivers.
Truckers in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland, three major ports in the West of the United States, have announced strikes starting today over California’s AB5 law. To add insult to injury, the us is facing a deadline for national freight rail labor negotiations, with the railways and unions facing shutdowns or strikes next Monday if the government refuses to step in. That would add to the backlog of containers at the Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach and would further exacerbate congestion at ports in the East of the COUNTRY, with a “catastrophic” impact on the nation’s weakening economy.
Truckers strike at Three Major U.S. and Western ports.
The strike will begin on July 13 at the ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach and will begin on July 18 at the port of Oakland.
About 100 truckers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have stopped work to protest the controversial legislation, according to a 4pm EST update on Wednesday. A spokesman for the Port of Los Angeles confirmed Wednesday morning that the work stoppage had not disrupted activity at the docks. “The Port of Los Angeles Police will assist in ensuring that all parties are able to express their First Amendment rights while ensuring that the port continues to operate safely,” the spokesperson said. The port of Long Beach also confirmed Wednesday that access and roads to the terminal remain open.
