Ports Hit by Trucker Stoppage
The Long Beach and Los Angeles ports felt the pinch as Teamsters strikes reduced waterfront trucking activity. Long Beach reported slowed movement of general cargo while Los Angeles had only two trucks moving cargo at the Consolidated Marine Terminal. Officials warned the strike could damage inbound and outbound containers, delay ship loading, and affect banana and citrus cargos. Separately, a federal judge struck down a Dade County residential picketing ordinance as too broad, upholding county authority to regulate but not excessively restrict protests.
