On April 14, 2021, the L.A. UNION movement joined our Teamsters sisters and brothers on the picket line for their #PortStrike. Universal’s subsidiary fired the same port drivers they call essential soon after they voted for a union and moved all the work to locations where the company uses “independent contractors.” Labor history was made when members of ILWU walked off the job in solidarity with the striking Teamster port truck drivers to hold Universal accountable for actively breaking the law and stealing the wages and rights of those misclassified drivers.
