LA and Long Beach continue as normal despite truckers strike

Truck drivers who serve the Southern Californian ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Diego have gone on strike.

Workers from four separate trucking companies began at 6.30am on Monday April 27 and container terminals were picketed.

There are around 16,000 truckers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach working for 800 companies. However, only 500 truckers work for the four companies targeted and, of those, US media reported that only 200 were on the picket lines on Monday.
