Longshoremen at the Port of Long Beach are expressing concern about unloading cargo from ships that have arrived in port from Japan.
The longshoremen are worried about the possibility of radiation exposure and unsafe radiation levels aboard cargo ships that have set sail from Japan after the nuclear crisis.
Even though most longshoremen believe their jobs are safe from radiation, a few still have doubts.
“The guys who were mates on the ship they were Americans, they said well it’s less than what you would get on an x-ray, so I just hope it’s true,“ Joe Palumbo, a longshoreman told NBC4 Los Angeles.
