Messages of solidarity and support are pouring in for the striking port truck drivers at Green Fleet Systems in Los Angeles. Teamsters have been picketing with the strikers who want to join their union. As the strikers escalated their picket line this morning, eight television outlets came to report on the historic walkout.
From Atlanta, brother Ben Speight tells us:
Savannah Port Driver leaders deliver 150 petition signatures to GREEN FLEET SYSTEMS manager in Garden City, GA this morning- Solidarity with the striking Green Fleet drivers in Los Angeles who are standing up for working rights and a voice on job.
