The eighth period of picketing by port truck drivers in two years ended Friday, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced in a release.
The truck drivers had been protesting picketing drayage firms since Monday, October 26 over accusations of wage theft and employee misclassification. Drivers at XPO Logistics, Intermodal Bridge Transport (IBT), and Gold Point Transportation ended their strike, while drivers at Pacific 9 Transportation (Pac 9) remain on strike indefinitely.
As the strike ended, the Teamsters were quick to note that there are 21 pending class action lawsuits covering 3,000 current and former misclassified port truck drivers.
