Angry Teamsters Block Airport Road in San Francisco
San Francisco reports that angry Teamsters stalled five cars on the airport access road and blocked traffic for about 30 minutes until police cleared the road. Three people were arrested in a brief melee, with rocks thrown at officers and a fight between a union member and a motorist. The dispute centers on a non union trucking firm, Viking Truck Co. of San Jose, which took over airport contracts from Shulman Delivery Co. Police and California Highway Patrol kept inbound lanes open. Freight volumes for American Airlines United Trans World and Flying Tigers dropped as picketing expanded.
