 Feb. 3, 2012 | This past Monday morning roughly 150 American truck drivers hauling for the major companies that do business at the Port of Seattle turned off their engines, got out of their cabs, and stopped hauling. According to CleanAndSafePorts.org, the courageous job action was undertaken to "sound the alarm on the occupational hazards, overweight containers, shoddy equipment, risks to motorists, and the culprits responsible for these rampant safety violations: their employers and their giant retail shipper clients like Wal-Mart, Sears, and Target." Read about their action and then click here to join your fellow Teamsters in sending a solidarity message of support to let these workers know you have their backs as they stand for safety and fairness on the job.
