Stop lawbreakers from doing business at ports! Support Truck Drivers On Strike

We are on strike right now in California with our coworkers and we need your support today.

The verdict is in: port trucking and warehouse companies like those employing us are breaking practically every labor law on the books. At America’s largest port complex in Southern California, they’ve even been caught for insurance fraud and not making payroll tax deposits. But the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are still allowing these lawbreakers to come into the ports to conduct business.

Sign this petition today to demand the Ports of LA and Long Beach STOP big business and Wall Street interests from exploiting regular American workers like the truck drivers and warehouse workers.

Letting these employers get away with breaking the rules is one of the reasons why Americans haven’t had a raise in years. Just look at the impact on the workers like us who deliver the products that our families all depend on.

My name is Humberto Canales and I haul cargo from the Ports of LA and Long Beach to the warehouses of America’s largest retailers. Recently I worked five full weeks in a row but took home exactly $0 (zero dollars) each of these five weeks because my employer – XPO Cartage (NYSE:XPO) – falsely labels me as “self-employed” so they can deduct the cost of diesel fuel, truck maintenance, insurance, and lease payments from my paycheck.

My name is Fausto Torres and for 5 years I was a temporary worker at the Cal Cartage warehouse – on property owned by the Port of Los Angeles – moving mostly Amazon.comproducts. On May 2, 2016, I and more than 100 of my co-workers were fired for demanding our rights and an end to wage theft. The Port of LA must ensure that Cal Cartage follows the law on Port property, or bring in a warehouse operator who will.

Can you sign our petition to put a stop to lawbreaking companies at the ports?
Sincerely,
Humberto Canales, XPO Port Driver
Fausto Torres, Cal Cartage Warehouse Worker
