The Oakland A’s planned stadium project at Howard Terminal is once again stirring protest, in the form of a rally and car caravan that set off from the Oakland Coliseum Saturday morning.
Trent Willis, President of the International Warehouse Longshore Union Local 10, warned rows of parked demonstrators that he believes the proposed stadium would disrupt operations at the Port of Oakland and drive out high paying port jobs.
“It’ll provide low paying, low wage, minimum wage paying jobs, with no benefits and no union representation,” Willis said to the crowd.
