Start with this fact: Truck drivers in the U.S. already don’t have to wear masks, and the vast majority are not required to be vaccinated against Covid, unless they plan to cross an international border. In fact, the top U.S. trucking advocates have taken pains to disavow the trucker blockades, including one that has stalled traffic for days at a key trade chokepoint between Detroit and Windsor, Ont.

A leader of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, a coalition representing more than 150,000 independent truck“I do not support any disturbance or destruction,” said Lewie Pugh, executive vice president of OOIDA and a long-time truck driver. While the group opposes the cross-border vaccine mandate that has inspired the Canadian protests, Pugh said the demonstrations are beginning to cost truckers the public’s support and goodwill.

If there were no pandemic or vaccine angst, would they find an excuse to piss and moan? the sound of one hand clapping

It isn't a valid labor action. Just more of the anti-vax 'freedumb' bullshit. They need to quit their bitching and get back to work. I read there's a court order against blocking the bridge. Why aren't they already in jail?

'Protests' are funded & organized by US extreme right-wing wealth & are designed to disrupt the stability of Canadian democracy.

From a family of truck drivers, who associate with truck drivers I can tell you that isn’t the position of “most” or even “many” truck drivers in the United States.

These so called Trucker protests are just another political ploy to cause a slow down the supply chain in the US and Canada.

The middle of the road is not an option?

Kkzahu These protests are another foreign op to slow down the supply chain in the US and Canada.

No they’re not 😆😆😆😆😆

Truckers everywhere are right about this. Name a main-stream profession with lousier conditions of service? Long time away from family. Low wages, where to shower/dine while on the road? All the assholes ordering from Amazon, etc., need to consider this and make amends.

Nah, what they really want is a civil war. They really can't articulate their issues but they know what they want.

DHS warns of trucker protests ahead of Super Bowl, but stresses they're aspirationalThe DHS warned of potential truck protests around Inglewood, California, the home of the Super Bowl LVI, on Sunday, over, among other things, vaccine mandates. The way to effect change in the US is through civil disobedience. That was shown in 2020. This is a good thing. It’s progress. Could you imagine the outrage that would pour out if BLM were to stage a blockade? Did anyone notice that the right wingers are using vehicles more frequently to disrupt events? Remember when they used a pickup truck convoy to pull over Biden Campaigners on I-35N, in Texas? 🤔 Just threatened the truckers with towing seizures with gigantic fines for pulling this stunt. Take away there livelihood, and watch the traffic move smoothly!
