Union truckers strike hits south suburban picket lines
Unionized drivers and dock workers joined nationwide action led by the Teamsters against 22 trucking firms. The dispute centers on part time workers, double breasting, job security, pay, and flexible operations as Grand Master Freight Agreement talks loom. Carolina Freight Carriers halted strike after agreeing to future negotiations, while President Carey rejects part time concessions. Local figures like Leroy Ellis mobilized at Roadway Trucking in Sauk Village amid broader industry resistance.
