Trucker protest shuts down operations at California port

Truckers protesting a state labor law have effectively shut down cargo operations at the Port of Oakland, it was announced Wednesday, July 20, 2022. Truckers protesting a state labour law have effectively shut down cargo operations at the Port of Oakland, it was announced Wednesday.

There was no immediate word on when the protest might end but it's exacerbating supply-chain issues that already have led to cargo ship traffic jams at major ports and stockpiled goods on the dock. A federal appeals court ruled last year that law applies to some 70,000 truck drivers who can be classified as employees of companies that hire them instead of independent contractors.

Messages seeking comment from the governor's office and the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development weren't immediately returned Wednesday evening.

At least these guys are fighting for a real cause and can interrupt the supply chain to get the attention of the powers that be, unlike those dummies in Ottawa that just managed to piss off residents with no real direction. They need to throw away the key on that Tamara Lich...

Do the Netherlands next, and Italy, Panama, Germany, etc!

GOOD FUCK THE NEW WORLD ORDER

This protest has nothing to do with vaccines. It is some local labor law issue.

Some truckers happy, some not. Either way you don't get sympathy by taking the population hostage

Tremendous

Awe come on this has to be Trudeau's doing, right? How about it PP, Bergen, and Smith, this has to be the Great Trudeau Reset.

Can’t wait to see another of those WEF dictators go down. Would prefer that it would be Chairman Trudope asap

The world was watching and they all saw how biased the media in Canada really is and now you're a joke, lapping at the heels of JustinTrudeau

Call Justin Trudeau. He will label them all white supremacists or misogynists and then freeze their bank accounts.

Good stuff!

Haha evergreen. Aren’t they the same company that plugged up the Panama Canal? Haven’t they learned anything.

Get the Ottawa police on them. That'll fix em.

People creating more chaos and anger no wonder some are going around showing their madness with guns.People are fed up with everything going on this crazy world.ENOUGH ALREADY.

👍 nice

retrumplican rooskies are trying to keep inflation going

This is what happens when the nanny state tries to save people from themselves. Without knowing anything, they decided Truckers should not be owner operators because of 'mUh gIg eCoNoMy.' Most Truckers though aspire to be owner operators.

more russian activity using stupid stupid more-rons.

'The roooskie funded swastika truckers are at it again.'
