Striking LA, LB harbour truckers agree to mayor's cooling off period
LOS ANGELES truckers returned to work having agreed to terms of a cooling off period brokered by LA mayor Eric Garcetti, which included agreements from employers to accept drivers back without retaliation.
"This week, striking port truck drivers showed tremendous courage and commitment to stopping the injustices they face hauling the goods that Americans rely on every day," said Teamsters vice president Fred Potter.
"The drivers agreed to a cooling off period because Mayor Garcetti committed to investigate the injustices the drivers presented and take strong action," Mr Potter said.
After a five-day strike against three of the port's drayage firms, which delayed cargo clearance at LA and Long Beach, the truckers voted in favour of a cooling off period.
