Ten Thousand Teamsters Strike Over Firings In LA Area
About 10 000 striking Los Angeles teamsters who received termination letters since April 9 hired Levy and Van Bourge through member contributions to challenge what they call illegal firings. Local 203 and Local 357 members were affected, with plants like Pico Rivera Ford and J G Penney warehouse among those tied up as the strike enters its third week, aiming to reopen national negotiations and gain sick pay and amnesty. The action disrupts more than 85 percent of freight movement in Los Angeles, with locals prepared to extend the walkout.
