California's Port of Oakland shuts for a THIRD day in a row due to trucker protest : Supply chain crisis set to WORSEN
[link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)]

Truckers have shut down the Port of Oakland in protest of Assembly Bill 5 (AB5)

Hundreds picketed gates on Wednesday and blocked drivers from hauling cargo

As a result, port productivity has diminished and container wait times have risen

Pot officials warn continued protests will exacerbate supply-chain issues

Organizers say protests will continue until Gov. Newsom agrees to meet

AB5 sets tougher standards for classifying workers as independent contractors

Protesters fear the law will impose hefty costs that will slash their earnings

Its all be design.

Truckers have shut down the Port of Oakland in protest of Assembly Bill 5 (AB5)

Hundreds picketed gates on Wednesday and blocked drivers from hauling cargo

As a result, port productivity has diminished and container wait times have risen

Pot officials warn continued protests will exacerbate supply-chain issues

Organizers say protests will continue until Gov. Newsom agrees to meet

AB5 sets tougher standards for classifying workers as independent contractors

Protesters fear the law will impose hefty costs that will slash their earnings

Its all be design.
 Quoting: Fair Acres


This is big money pushing this protest. In NO WAY can a truck driver, who owns his own vehicle, buys his own insurance, chooses his own freight, be considered an "employee." That is impossible.

They're literally out there arguing a completely false thing. The court ruling that there were truckers out there that could be considered employees was due to the controlling aspect of the company "hiring" them.

Example - if a company dictates everything about you, yet you're paying for everything yourself, they are screwing you over. If you can't decline freight and have no choice about where you're going or negotiate your own rates with them, then you are being exploited and used as an employee that covers costs the company should be paying (if they want to control the driver).

Good lord these people are protesting against what's in their own best interest.

If they go out, secure a loan for a semi, get their own DOT #, their own insurance, etc., they cannot be considered an employee.

My goodness they aren't very intelligent people.

Who's in crisis? What's not available? I'm in the Midwest and don't see any shortages. Everyone has money. There's more people on the roads than a can ever remember. Crime is up a little, but the police in my area are efficient at killing criminals. Only problem I see is all the homeless begging for dope money at every store, traffic light and parking lot. Too many drama queens at glp.
